"Sam Worthington has revealed that he was afraid of falling while filming new movie Man on a Ledge. The 35-year-old Australian actor plays an ex-criminal who is threatening to jump off a Manhattan hotel in the film, and said that adrenalin got him through the experience of standing 200 ft in the air.  Worthington told The Daily Telegraph: &amp;quot;Falling was the only thing I was afraid of. And landing. That would have been the hard bit. The longer I was out there, the more confident I got. It&amp;#039;s weird. It&amp;#039;s a lot higher than your brain can imagine. It doesn&amp;#039;t seem real, almost.  &amp;quot;The adrenalin is trying to keep it all together, so it just looks like a weird painting. The first time I went out there was the first time we filmed. I got lucky in that I didn&amp;#039;t burst into tears or curl up in a ball or something. It would have been a different start to the movie.You can&amp;#039;t prepare for something like that. You can&amp;#039;t practise.&amp;quot; The star said that Man on a Ledge appealed to him because it was a &amp;quot;fun popcorn film&amp;quot;, a &amp;quot;simple action movie&amp;quot;, but admitted that he would love to make &amp;quot;a dance movie&amp;quot;. He added: &amp;quot;My agent thinks I am nuts.&amp;quot; Worthington admitted that he has &amp;quot;heard stories&amp;quot; about Avatar director James Cameron wanting to make him film under the sea for the movie&amp;#039;s sequel, saying: &amp;quot;I am a bit cautious about underwater stuff. Not because of what&amp;#039;s under the water, but I find it a weird concept to breathe underwater. It&amp;#039;s something humans aren&amp;#039;t meant to do. It&amp;#039;s like being up on a ledge - that&amp;#039;s where pigeons live.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Sam Worthington: &amp;#039;I wasn&amp;#039;t very good in the first &amp;#039;Titans&amp;#039; movie&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Sam Worthington: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m glad my girlfriend doesn&amp;#039;t have a job&amp;#039; Watch an extended preview for Man on a Ledge below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
