Sam Worthington covers the latest issue of Details magazine. Here’s what the Avatar star had to say:
On why he comes across like an idiot:
“I’m still a very boisterous young man. And I swear a bit more than I should. So I’m learning to temper it, you know?”
On liking to work:
“I hate downtime. This is the first time I’ve had time off. I hate it.”
On his childhood:
“I’m not a great fan of people who say they put a sheet up in the backyard when they were 7 and entertained all the neighbors. When I was 7, I thought I was a f-cking fire truck. Growing up, you tended to just go through school to get out… then figure out what you want to do in this big ball of mud.”
On where he wants his career to go:
“Most people could say, ‘I want to be on magazine covers. I want to have enough money to buy a house. If it was tangible hopefully I wouldn’t be doing it, to be honest.”
On fame:
“If you start walking around in a red chinchilla, thinking you’re better than everybody,” Worthington says, “you’re going to look like a dickhead.”
