“Avatar” star Sam Worthington’s battle with alcoholism nearly cost him his family and his life, the actor revealed in an interview published Thursday.
“I thought it was normal,” Worthington, now eight years sober, told Variety. “I didn’t like who I was. Drinking helped me get through the day.”
The 46-year-old actor said he started drinking heavily as he struggled to cope with success after starring in “Avatar.” He said he would often start drinking in the morning and continue throughout any given day.
