Synopsis:

33-year-old, one time bricklayer, Australian actor Sam Worthington fronts an amped-up revision of 1981 classic Clash of the Titans, as Perseus. Here he talks about anti-heroes, bonding with the other actors, Gemma Artherton thinking he’s an idiot, the French influence of director Louis Leterrier and his take on the Greek gods, and the part James Cameron played in his career.

Quote:

“First of all, I shaved my hair off, I decided Persus should be a skinhead! One guy said to me, “but they didn't have buzz cuts in those days?” And I said to him, “Well, they also didn't have winged fucking horses, mate.” It's not a history lesson.“
