AVATAR" launched SAM WORTHINGTON to superstardom – but he still spends his money like he’s a pauper!
The 33-year-old actor parks his own car to avoid valet fees, orders the cheapest thing on the menu on the rare occasions he buys restaurant meals, and even collects condiments from fast-food restaurants so he can save on things like ketchup and soy sauce, say sources.
Sam’s extreme thriftiness is causing problems in his relationship with his fashion stylist girlfriend Natalie Mark, according to those close to the couple.
"Natalie has been incredibly understanding of his beyond-frugal behavior for a long time now, but she’s fed up with cooking at home because he’s too cheap to take her out to dinner," said a close source.
"He lives more like a hobo than a Hollywood star!"
The Australian actor was living out of his car before getting his big breaks in Terminator Salvation and Clash of the Titans
Although his Avatar salary has not been publicly disclosed, he is widely believed to have made millions from the blockbuster hit.
Sam met 24-year-old Natalie when he was a struggling actor nearly two years ago, and since then she has traveled the world to be with him while he’s filming and promoting movies.
"Natalie loved Sam when he didn’t have a dime," said the source. "But things are different now.
"She sees him banking millions, and she’s at her wit’s end with his needless skimping."
