Remember my name, and face.
Remember the understated lad who stole the thunder from Christian Bale in Terminator Salvation? Yes, I am talking about Aussie actor Sam Worthington? 'Memba him? Well, he has been named Man of the Year at the annual GQ magazine awards in his homeland, Australia.
The Terminator Salvation star was handed the honour at a glitzy ceremony in Sydney recently.
Sam was humble in accepting the trophy, telling the assembled crowd, "I think it would be arrogant to say these are the qualities you should have as a man and I think that other people should be able to assess where you are in life and your good qualities. So, as long as you can make people happy, that's what you should be aiming for."
True Blood star Ryan Kwanten landed the Actor of the Year award, while Empire Of The Sun was named Music Act Of The Year. Soul singer Daniel Merriweather earned the Breakthrough Star of the Year honour.
I hope Sam Worthington (who is as raw and rugged as the come from Oz) will prove his worth and achieve the kind of success that Hugh Jackman has been blessed with. |
