The 36-year-old Avatar star reportedly was refused entry to Vortex on Saturday because doormen at the bar/restaurant felt he was too intoxicated.

Celebuzz.com quotes Atlanta police as saying Worthington then got into an argument and shoved a doorman, who responded by spraying the actor with pepper spray and placing him in handcuffs until police arrived. He was charged with disorderly conduct and bonded out on $453 bail, according to the website.

The star is currently in Atlanta filming the Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie Ten, which follows members of an elite DEA task force.
