The “Avatar” star. Sam Worthington (46) is best known for his role as Jake Sully in the 2009 hit film.
The movie made the 46-year-old one of Hollywood’s hottest stars overnight.
Take a white year: – Bad and unhealthy relationship
Worthington is currently working on the sequel to the film, “Avatar: The Way of the Water”.
In an interview with Variety now opens about the time after the first hit of “Avatar”, in which he lost control of his life.
Unpredictable
Worthington sacrificed almost everything for his addiction to alcohol.
After “Avatar,” he recognized cities around the world not for their famous attractions, but for their favorite bars.
Before flights, he often drank four or five glasses of champagne, something his wife Lara Bingle (35) told him she’d never seen anyone do before.
– I didn’t dare tell the family
– I didn’t get to see it. I thought it was normal, says the Hollywood star and continues:
– I didn’t like who I was. Drinking helped me through the day.
Worthington admits to the website that he often started drinking early in the morning.
– People could probably smell it on them, but when they saw me, they didn’t notice. I was still doing my job, I just don’t think I did it very well.
Plus, he says alcohol made him erratic, jeopardized his career, and almost ended the relationship.
He struggled with alcohol: – He pissed on me
Life changes
During the 13 years between the films “Avatar” the life of the star has changed a lot. He managed to get married and have three children, Rocket (6), Racer (4) and River (1).
After eight years sober, Worthington is also now in a much better position as he prepares to support and promote the sequel to ‘Avatar,’ which is due out Dec. 16.
