Sam Worthington

Sam Worthington is a popular actor who became known to a wide range of audiences thanks to James Cameron's fantastic film Avatar. He also participated in such films as "On the Edge", "Clash of the Titans", "Terminator: May the Savior Come" and other notable films.

In the summer of 1976, in the provincial town of Godalming, in South-East England (Surrey), the electrician Ronald and his wife Jeanne had a son, who was named Sam. While the boy's father worked at the station, his mother kept the household and raised the children (Sam has a sister, Lucinda). When the future actor was very young, the Worthington family moved to the Perth suburb of Rockingham. Therefore, the actor's subsequent childhood memories are firmly associated with sunny Australia.

Samuel Henry Jay Worthington (the full name of the actor) from childhood began to gravitate towards acting: the young man was a regular at the improvised theater on the stage of the College of Art. John Carton. He participated in both classical productions and fairy tales interpreted in a modern way. However, the guy did not think about a career in a big movie, but began attending a drama class just to get acquainted with girls. Worthington was not a zealous student, so the young man never managed to get a diploma.

Sam's parents were not happy that their offspring dropped out of college, so Ronald gave $ 400 to his beloved child and sent him on a free voyage in Queensland with the words: "Work is your way home." Thus, by the will of fate, the ambitious young man ended up in Sydney, where he worked in a construction team. At the age of 19, working as a bricklayer, Sam was lucky enough to audition for the National Institute of Dramatic Arts, which graduated from Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Mel Gibson and Baz Luhrmann.

According to rumors, it was an affair with a girl who dreamed of becoming an actress that pushed the guy to apply. At the same time, Worthington's beloved failed to pass the entrance exams, but Sam was accepted for training. The actor recalled that he did not delve into knowledge, but preferred the politics of slovenliness: sometimes he skipped classes and had fun with his friends.

The directors could not ignore the stately guy (Sam's height is 178 cm), so after receiving the diploma, the young man began his creative biography in Australian TV shows. But initially, as often happens, Worthington played episodic characters. Thus, he flashed in "Bluheelers", "Military Legal Services", "Water Rats" and other serial films.

In 2000, Worthington made his debut in front of director's cameras in full meter. It was Dane Perry's Heels, about steelmaker Sean (Adam Garcia) who deserves the best because he's a dancer at heart. And only a music show, where tap dancers perform, is able to direct this guy's life in the right direction. In this tape, Sam played Mitchell - the brother of the main character. Two years later, Worthington appeared in Gregory Hoblith's war drama Hart's War, where he was fortunate enough to work with venerable actors such as Bruce Willis, Colin Farrell and Marcel Yures.

In the same 2002, Sam's filmography included the crime comedy "Dirty Deeds". The plot of this tape revolves around the confrontation between the Australian bandit Barry Ryan and the American mafiosi, who decided to stretch their hands into someone else's pocket. However, things are not going well for gangsters from the United States, because a veteran Tony, tired of a criminal life, and his colleague in the shop, the hot-tempered and reckless Sal, are sent to the war with the Sydney manager. In addition to Worthington, the cast includes Brian Brown, Toni Collette, Sam Neal and John Goodman.

In 2003, Sam stars as Barry Wirths in the delinquent comedy I'm Tied Up. The story is about former prison inmates who try to start their lives from scratch. But, having felt a breath of freedom, the main characters understand that making friends with the law is not so easy.

In 2004, Worthington changed his repertoire and appeared in the romantic melodrama “16 Years. Love. Reboot ": in this film, the viewer is presented the story of the relationship between a girl who escaped from her parents and an adult farmer Joe. For this remarkable performance, Sam won the Australian Film Institute's Male Lead Award. In the same year, the actor participates in a series of a similar genre, "Love as I want."

In 2006, the adventurer Sam tries to catch the bird of happiness at the casting of Martin Campbell's action movie Casino Royale. But, fortunately or unfortunately, Worthington was not destined to play James Bond, because this role went to Daniel Craig. But the actor takes part in the crime thriller Macbeth (2006), the plot of which is a modern interpretation of Shakespeare's play.

Three years later, Worthington appeared in the cult sci-fi movie Terminator: May the Savior Come. In this picture, the actor reincarnated as Marcus Wright. To the surprise of the audience, in the fourth part of the cybernetic franchise there was no Arnold Schwarzenegger, but actors Christian Bale, Moon Bloodgood and Anton Yelchin starred there.

The most memorable picture in Sam's filmography is the science fiction film Avatar by James Cameron (2009), where the actor was awarded the title role of Jake Sully (which was also claimed by Chris Pratt). It was this work that gave the young man a ticket to a big cinema.

Cameron did not want to increase the costs of his brainchild, so he was looking for a little-known actor, and Worthington was suitable in all respects: he did not stay in the vastness of Hollywood, but lived in his car and was in dire need of money. It is known that Sam was invited to audition by phone: the caller did not disclose the director's name and did not tell the plot, so the actor did not even suspect how important this call was for his subsequent career.

Journalists know at least two love stories that were in the life of a charming actor. Since 2005, he dated Maeve Dermody for three years, and later Natalie Mark became his lover, but their relationship was at an impasse.

In 2014, Worthington proposes to model Lara Bingle, and the blonde agrees. In 2015, the first-born Rocket Zot Worthington was born to the lovers, and a year later, their second child, Razor, was born. Unlike her husband, Lara is an avid user of Instagram, where she sometimes publishes family photos.

Sam is also known to have poor eyesight, but does not wear glasses and, surprisingly to fans, hates sports and does not go to the gym.

In 2017, the actor delighted fans with his participation in the films "The Hut" and "Time of the Dogs".

Also, according to rumors, he will appear in the films "Life - Loneliness", "Titan", "The Thunderstorm Begins" and starred in the second, third and fourth parts of "Avatar". The next sequel is slated for release around 2020.
