Early life

Jeanne J., his mother, was born in Jeanne J. (née Martyn) is a housewife, and Ronald W. Worthington, his father, is a power plant worker. Lucinda is his sister.
He attended John Curtin College of the Arts, a school specialised in the dramatic arts, in Fremantle, Western Australia, where he studied drama but did not graduate. When he left the college, his dad gave him $400 and sent him on a one-way trip to Cairns, Queensland, telling him to "work his way home." He began working on construction and odd jobs before settling in Sydney. He auditioned for the National Institute of Dramatic Art at the age 19 and was given a scholarship.
Personal life
Worthington has said that when he was about 30 years old, he sold the majority of his possessions and ended up with around $2,000 to his name. He says he bought a car with the proceeds and was living in it long before he auditioned for Avatar. He then found a place to live.
Worthington's rumors of a friendship with fellow Australian model Lara Worthington (née Bingle) emerged on October 18, 2013. They married on December 28, 2014, and they had a son in 2015. Bingle and Worthington's second child, as well as another son, was born in 2016. The couple announced the birth of their third child, another son, in 2020.
Worthington is a Christian.
Worthington was arrested in New York City on February 23rd for assault after punching Sheng Li, who followed Bingle to get a "perfect photo." Worthington appears to Bingle as his "wife," according to a video footage of the incident, fueling rumors about the pair's marital status. Worthington was initially released on a desk appearance ticket, but Li was arrested on suspicion of reckless endangerment, assault, and harassment.
Worthington appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on February 26, 2014, where he was sentenced to stay away from Li for six months. The lawsuit was postponed until 8 May 2014, with the actor facing charges of assault in the third degree, attempted assault, and bullying.
Li blamed Bingle for starting the fight on April 1st and ordered that she be arrested. Worthington obtained a conditional discharge plea on a misdemeanour assault charge, avoiding any jail time, but the charges against Li were dismissed "in the interest of justice." Li then filed a $3.7 million civil lawsuit against Worthington, which was settled out of court before going to trial in September 2015.
Career
Worthington appeared in the Australian dance film Bootmen (2000) with Adam Garcia in a small role. He also appeared in Gettin' Square, an Australian low-budget comedy.
Worthington was instrumental in Somersault (2004) and was leading in a modern Australian retelling of Macbeth (2006). For his work in Somersault, he received the AFI Award for Best Lead Actor. He was well-known in Australia for his role as Howard in the acclaimed Australian television series Love My Way, in which he played the female lead's sole love interest.
Worthington's international film career began with a small role in Hollywood's The Great Raid (2005), which was shot in Australia. He applied for the role of James Bond in Casino Royale, but he was dissatisfied with the role, but Daniel Craig took the lead. He appeared in the Australian creature-feature film Rogue (2007) as a man named Neil, which received a 100% new rating from Rotten Tomatoes.
Worthington played cyborg Marcus Wright, who aids humans despite their skepticism of him in Terminator Salvation. Worthington's next project was the James Cameron-directed science-fiction film Avatar, in which he played Jake Sully, a paraplegic former US Marine who finds himself trapped in a war between his own race and the indigenous Na'vi people of the moon Pandora. The film became the highest-grossing film of all time, grossing more than $2.8 billion ($3.4 billion adjusted for inflation) in box-office receipts around the world. Worthington told GQ Australia in November that he went to audition but wasn't told what it was for and became enraged. So he did his part, left, forgot about it, and was called back. "I was a bit pissy off, and I think that came across," he says. "I think Jim saw a spark and loved it because Sully's character – a guy who doesn't like to be mocked and a guy who just wants to do the right thing – is in charge of making it right."
Captain Alex Mason, the protagonist in the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops, had voice work. Some gamers, as in Avatar, have sluggishly ridiculed Worthington's inability to mask his Australian accent.
