He's known for having a short fuse at times, and Sam Worthington seemed to be living up to his reputation as he appeared to be getting disgruntled at a check in counter at Sydney airport on Sunday.

The 37-year-old Avatar actor was accompanied by his girlfriend, model Lara Bingle, who watched on warily as he pointed his finger at the airline clerk.

In a simple pair of dark jeans and a black hoodie, Worthington looked increasingly unhappy as he checked in at the desk, frowning and gesturing as he spoke with the female staff member.

Both Worthington and Bingle were recently embroiled in a legal wrangle over an altercation with a photographer in New York - and Bingle had last week been in front of a judge over driving offences - so it's little wonder she was casting a concerned eye at Worthington.

Bingle, 26, held her tongue as she continued to sign documents on the desk nearby.

After several minutes, the pair checked in their luggage at the Qantas terminal for first-class Platinum One passengers.

Hand-in-hand, they were inseparable as they headed through the international airport towards their flight.

In a feminine and flowing white dress, black leather jacket and black flats, Bingle looked comfortable and ready for the long flight ahead.

She also showed off a shorter hairstyle, seemingly having cut a couple of inches off her tresses into an even shorter cropped bob.

Usually simple in his style, perhaps his fashionista girlfriend is rubbing off on him - with Worthington donning a flashy pair of red and black kicks, and a patterned camouflage backpack.

The high-profile pair tried to avoid media attention, with the Clash Of The Titans star placing an arm protectively over his girlfriend's shoulder as they boarded the flight.

It's not the first time the duo - rumoured to have married in secret - have got into a public disagreement.

In New York back in February, Bingle confronted a paparazzi photographer who was snapping the pair, with Worthington getting into a physical altercation with the man after he claims he kicked her in the shins.

Worthington and the photographer - Sheng Li - were both arrested, before the case was later dismissed in early April.

Bingle too has had some run-ins with the law, recently returning to her home town of Sydney to appear in court over a series of driving offenses.
