Los Angeles: `Avatar` star Sam Worthington lost his temper on the sets of his new movie `Clash Of The Titans` over a mechanical owl.The Autralian actor despised Bubo, a replica of the heroic bird which featured in the original 1981 film, and threatened to destroy it when director Louis Leterrier wasn`t looking, reported Entertainment Weekly.

"Sam couldn`t stand the owl. He wanted to destroy it. He kept threatening to drop it. He`d say, `This is ridiculous! This is a ridiculous thing to have in the movie! You`re going to ruin my career with that owl!`," said Leterrier. Worthington believed that the owl was not needed in the film, which also stars Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson and Gemma Arterton. "That owl did not deserve to be in our movie," said Worthington. PTI
