Avatar star Sam Worthington has admitted he acted like "a jerk" on the night he was arrested for disorderly conduct in Georgia last year.

The Australian actor was taken into custody by police after he became involved in a bust-up with a bouncer outside an Atlanta nightclub in November.

Worthington, who was in town to shoot the action drama Ten with Arnold Schwarzenegger., allegedly grew violent after he was denied entry to the venue, and is said to have been pepper-sprayed by a doorman before being hauled away in handcuffs.

The actor has now opened up about the incident, insisting he ...

Avatar actor Sam Worthington was arrested in Georgia on Saturday following an alleged altercation with bouncers at a nightclub.

The Hollywood star reportedly grew violent when he was denied entrance to Atlanta bar Vortex.

Doormen had to subdue the Australian star with pepper spray until local police arrived and took an allegedly drunk Worthington into custody.

The entire incident was captured on a surveillance tape and the actor was later charged with disorderly conduct, according to TMZ.com.

Worthington is in Georgia shooting new action drama Ten with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Sam Worthington is the actor most likely to step into James Bond's shoes when Daniel Craig hangs up his Walther PPK, according to Britain's leading bookmaker.

Craig is currently shooting scenes for his third outing as the suave superspy in Skyfall, which is due for release in 2014, and shows no signs of retiring from the role.

However, when he eventually moves on from the 007 franchise, Avatar actor Worthington - who was born in Britain but grew up in Australia - is hot favorite to take over the coveted part, followed by English actor Tom Hardy and Shame star Michael Fassbender.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has criticized the fourth Terminator movie, branding the 2009 science fiction follow-up "awful".

The veteran action star is enjoying his return to the big screen after fulfilling his political duties as Governor of California last year, starring in an upcoming sequel to The Expendables and new thriller The Tomb.

However, he is eager to reprise his iconic role as The Terminator after expressing disappointment with the last installment.

When asked which franchise he would like to return to, he tells Collider.com, "(I'm open to) all those things, if it's True Lies, ...

Fans are still having cravings for "The Hunger Games" - the adventure film raked in a whopping $61.1 million at the box office over the weekend.

The movie, which stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, broke box office records last week by becoming the biggest non-sequel film to ever open at number one - and now The Hunger Games has held onto its coveted first place title.

Sam Worthington stars in the action-packed "Wrath of the Titans," which hits theaters today. He plays Perseus, who descends into the underworld on a mission to rescue Zeus (Liam Neeson) from the clutches of Hades (Ralph Fiennes), Ares (Edgar Ramirez), and Kronos.

We love this guy. Why? First, he admits he could have done better in the first film, "Clash of the Titans." He confessed to Empire magazine, "I wanted to do a second Titans film because I personally think I wasn't very good in the first one. I think I could've worked a lot harder on Clash." He's humble! We like that in Hollyw...

Last week I was lucky enough to see an advanced screening of the Drew Goddard/Joss Whedon horror flick “The Cabin in the Woods,” which took SXSW by storm. I won’t comment on it just yet, but I will say that I’m excited to be interviewing two of its stars, Kristen Connolly and Fran Kranz, in the coming days. Keep your eyes peeled for my write up.

Avatar star Sam Worthington has been crowned the Fun Fearless Male of the Year by editors at Cosmopolitan magazine.

The Australian hunk was named the winner of the annual accolade at a star-studded bash in New York City on Monday.

Explaining their choice, Cosmo bosses state, "Just as Russell Crowe and Brad Pitt are getting a little too old to fulfill our hottie-action-hero fantasies, along comes 35-year-old Sam Worthington. Our crush kicked in when the Aussie actor played a soldier with a heart of gold in Avatar and gained momentum as he showed off more skin and grit in Clash of the Tit...

When one thinks of "Manhunter" and "Heat" film director Michael Mann, stunning visual style and tone comes to mind – like father, like daughter. Filmmaker Ami Canaan Mann is making a name for herself by creating her own memorable work and her latest is the dark and moody crime thriller "Texas Killing Fields" (out Jan. 31 from Anchor Bay Home Entertainment) starring Sam Worthington, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jessica Chastain and Chloe Grace Moretz. The film, which marks a real bold stroke for Mann in both style and tone, is loosely based on true events about the murder of various women who were...

"The Grey" appears to be box office gold - it raked in $20 million at the weekend to take top spot in the box office chart.

Meanwhile, the cunning psychopath quickly turns the tables on his pursuers with a tantali...

Sam Worthington jumped at the chance to star in a Clash of the Titans sequel as he was convinced he "wasn't very good" in the first installment.

The Australian actor played mythical warrior hero Perseus in the 2010 movie, but admits he was less than impressed with his performance - and the criticism his buzzcut hairstyle attracted.

He tells Empire magazine, "I wanted to do a second Titans film because I personally think I wasn't very good in the first one. I think I could've worked a lot harder on Clash. So I wanted the opportunity to get a second bite at the apple, and it is rare to get ...

Two Jews on Film - By Joan Alperin Schwartz: A former NYPD officer, Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington) escapes from Sing-Sing. His next stop is the famed Roosevelt Hotel on 45th and Madison in the heart of New York City. Nick checks in, making sure his room is on one of the highest floors.

Nick orders a lobster and a bottle of champagne. He eats, drinks a glass of the bubbly, wipes off his fingerprints, writes a short note, takes a few deep breaths and then steps outside onto a ledge, a ledge that is 225 feet above The Big Apple.

It doesn't take long before the whole city notices would ...

Aussie star Sam Worthington still can't believe the crazy things fans of his Avatar blockbuster will do to honor the film - Chinese officials have renamed a mountain range so devotees can get married in the fictitious alien world.

The film has become the most successful movie ever and Chinese fans have started dressing up as Na'vi warriors to wed among the Hallelujah Mountains, where Worthington and his co-star Zoe Saldana's all-blue characters fell in love.

Worthington says, "They renamed the mountains in China... People dress up, they're blue. The priest is blue as well."

And the Cl...

Wrath of the Titans star Sam Worthington has bought his first home - on a former nudist beach in Hawaii.

The Aussie star feels very much at home there because he grew up near a nudist beach, called Safety Bay, in Perth.

He says, "When you'd surf you'd be out the back waiting and there'd be a fisherman, nude, on the rock... 60-year-old men."

I loved last week’s Steven Soderbergh movie “Haywire.” It’s a visually stunning picture with cool music, and a strong, sexy female protagonist to boot. For elaboration on my thoughts, check out my review, if you haven’t already.

Dropping into theaters this week is the frosty Liam Neeson thriller “The Grey,” the high-rise standoff “Man on a Ledge,” the Glenn Close period piece “Albert Nobbs,” the Katherine Heigl action comedy “One for the Money,” the historical drama “In Darkness,” and the foreign drama “Declaration of War.”

Look out later this week for my interview with “Man on...

Australian actor Sam Worthington has defended his recent weight gain, insisting his paunch is "healthy" and "human".

The Avatar star was photographed earlier this week on a beach in Hawaii sporting a fuller figure and the pictures were published with a headline containing the phrase "Clash of the Xmas puddings," a reference to his role in action movie Clash of the Titans.

However, Worthington is adamant he is proud of his bulging belly, as he "hates" working out at a gym and is happy to have normal body issues.

He tells News.com.au, "Clash of the Xmas puddings, that's good. I like it....

Sam Worthington loves his nomadic lifestyle so much; he's vowed to remain homeless for as long as possible.

The Australian actor sold all his possessions to pursue his career in Hollywood, and he's been living in hotels and sleeping on a pal's couch ever since.

And despite his hefty pay check from movie parts including a leading role in Avatar, Worthington intends to stay homeless for as long as possible - because he loves living like a "gypsy".

He tells Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine, "The white picket fence in Australia has never really appealed to me. I'm not very responsible when...

“Texas Killing Fields” is practical. It's effective. It hits the notes necessary. But in the end it's simply unsatisfying. “Texas Killing Fields” then, is like getting socks for Christmas. Or rather, it's like being disappointed by socks for Christmas.

On the surface, “Texas Killing Fields” is about two detectives, Mike (Sam Worthington) and Brian (Jeffery Dean Morgan) who solve murders in the depths of the rural Texas. Texas is a character in this film, make no doubt about it. The Texas presented in this movie is the kind of Texas that could find itself in a Jeff Foxworthy routine: Rust, ...

Two years ago, we were all wondering “Who is this Sam Worthington” guy? Then Avatar came out, and anyone who hadn’t already seen Terminator Salvation surely caught him in the biggest movie of all time.

This week you’ll see a more sensitive side of Worthington in The Debt. He plays David, a Mossad agent trying to weather the pressure of capturing a Nazi criminal and living with him in a safe house. The film opens August 31.

Worthington walked into interviews for The Debt with shaggy hair and a full beard. Among the highly anticipated big budget sequels he’s in – Clash of the Titans 2 and A...

Hulk Hogan missed out on a lucrative endorsement deal when he snubbed the idea of putting his name on a grilling machine and opted for a meatball maker instead.

The colorful former fighter told Sam Worthington all about his greatest business regret when the two stars met at the Comic-Con convention in San Diego, California last month - and the tale has made the actor cautious about any future endorsement deal.

Worthington says, "He gave me some investment advice because his manager said to him, 'You should get into these things, kitchen appliances, put your name on something'.

Director James Cameron is writing an Avatar "bible" as he prepares to start working on a sequel to his movie blockbuster.

The filmmaker has previously revealed he's planning to set the follow-up to the 2009 sci-fi epic underwater, but the film's star, Sam Worthington, warns fans not to expect anything from Cameron for a while - because he's still trying to get back into the Avatar frame of mind.

The Aussie actor says, "Jim told me what it is, what he's got planned, it's huge.

"The thing with Jim is he doesn't want to disappoint anybody and he won't be popping out a sequel just because...

Australian actor Sam Worthington is planning to take a career break so he can "enjoy the fruits" of his hard work.

The 35 year old has seen his profile skyrocket since landing roles in Terminator Salvation and James Cameron's hit Avatar, which went on to become the most successful film of all time.

However, Worthington admits he has had no time to relax since shooting to fame.

He tells UsMagazine.com, "I haven't taken a break in four years. It's been a nomadic existence. It took loads of hard work to reach this point in my career. It wasn't as if I woke up one day and was doing movies...

A scheduling conflict forced Matt Damon to turn down the chance to be part of the most successful film ever made - he said no to Avatar.

The actor admits he was in talks with director James Cameron to take the lead in the 2009 sci-fi epic but there wasn't enough time for him to take on the project in between The Bourne Ultimatum and The Green Zone.

He reveals, "I talked to Cameron and I read the script and I knew the movie was gonna be a big hit. I really wanted to do Avatar and work with Jim Cameron and watch him direct and learn a lot.

"But we were finishing The Bourne Ultimatum and I ...
