Sam Worthington, who starred in “Avatar,” was arrested on Saturday in Atlanta for fighting and had to be subdued with pepper spray after he was refused entrance because people at the door thought he was too intoxicated.
Police say the actor was at Vortex and got into an argument with the staff because he didn’t have his ID that was required to get into the club.
According to the police report, a witness told cops Worthington became disorderly. He allegedly pushed the doorman twice and the doorman responded by pepper spraying him and putting him in cuffs until the cops arrived.
We’re told the entire incident is on surveillance video. Worthington was charged with disorderly conduct — fighting. He was later released on $453 bail.
Worthington is in Atlanta to shoot “Ten,” which co-stars Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Worthington has starred in films including Avatar, Terminator: Salvation and Clash of the Titans.
Avatar Part 2 & 3 Coming Soon
Worthington is rumored to be returning with the film crew to shoot the second and third Avatar film back-to-back with Zoe Saldana. James Cameron revealed the movie plot in the franchise to tell the story of the early explorations on the moon Pandora.
“I haven’t really put pen to paper on it, but basically, it goes back to the early expeditions of Pandora, and kind of what went wrong with the humans and the Na’vi and what that was like to be an explorer and living in that world,” Cameron said in a statement.
