* CreatorBacklash: He apologised for his performance in ''Film/ClashOfTheTitans2010'', and attributes some of it to how the script was constantly changing, and the priorities were more with the special effects than the acting.



* HollywoodHypeMachine: During 2009-2010, Worthington had three blockbuster films, ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'', ''Film/{{Avatar}}'', and ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|2010}}'' that released quite close to one another where many people felt that this was Hollywood trying to push Worthington as the next big action star.

* DyeingForYourArt: He thought that Perseus in ''Film/WrathOfTheTitans'' should have a "dad bod" to show how he's more concerned with fatherhood than being a god. Director Jonathan Liebesman however was quite annoyed, and the studio likewise insisted he lose the weight to look more like an action hero.

He however has admitted to struggling with alcoholism to cope with the pressures of becoming famous so suddenly, and also opting to pursue meatier roles rather than the generic action hero parts that he became known for - such as ''{{Film/Cake 2014}}'', ''Film/ManOnALedge'' and ''Film/HacksawRidge''.
* IAmNotSpock: Due to him

** He was a leading contender for James Bond in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'', but jokes that "I couldn't get the debonair down for the life of me".
