Hollywood shocker as Avatar actor Sam Worthington revealed to be hardcore booger!

"I am now questioning everything I thought I knew about everything."

So there I was, this morning, casually scrolling my phone right around 7:30 when I stumbled on the otherwise innocuous headline “Lara Worthington shows off her incredible figure in a swimsuit as she goes surfing with husband Sam Worthington in Costa Rica.” Both names rang a distant bell but not enough to immediately pique interest and so I moved on to read about the Scandinavian sleep method that couples swear by.

Later, near 8:00, I came downstairs to make coffee and get BeachGrit’s day started, wondering what treats would be in store for you, dear reader, today. Perusing the various surf newses, I was, once again, presented with Lara Worthington’s incredible figure.

This time I clicked and my/our whole world came crashing down around me/us.

The piece thankfully led off with reference to Worthington being one of Australia’s most successful models, which allowed me to recall that she used to be Lara Bingle and I remembered her from the Oyster days, as I once wrote for that beautiful fashion magazine. She was, anyhow, spotted in Costa Rica, wearing a “form fitting one-piece,” finishing off her look with a pair of camo-print Crocs with her love, Sam Worthington, and presumably their three boys Rocket, Racer and River (take note, Kelly Slater).

Seeing the name Sam Worthington for the second time allowed me to recall him as the lead actor in the James Cameron franchise Avatar.

Sam Worthington’s Unexpected Surfing Skills

So there they were, in Costa Rica and, as promised in the headline, surfing. Or at least she was surfing on a yellowing 8-foot funboard. Typical rental fare. The first image of her smiling broadly while riding on her knees was directly next to an image of Sam Worthington, who appeared to be riding to shore on his belly. I zoomed in to try an suss out what sort of craft he was on but could not really see through the spray.

Deeper into the piece there were many more snaps of Lara laying on her board, carrying her board, smiling with surf friends…

…and then hammertown.

A photo of Sam Worthington zooming down the line all properly positioned etc. on a bodyboard.

Now, we’ve all seen celebrities playing on boogies in the shorebreak etc. but this was not that. The 48-year-old was clearly not just goofing around but serious and looked serious, arm cocked, leaning in, staring at a section to el rollo.

His ride, also, not rental fare, likely a custom and certainly brought from home.

World crashed.

Sam Worthington is a hardcore booger committed to the lifestyle.

I am now questioning everything I thought I knew about everything.

You probably should too.
