“Avatar” Director James Cameron called testosterone a “toxin” that men have to “work out of [their] system,” perhaps explaining why one of his most recent Blockbusters involved purple people flying around on peacocks and tapping into a giant glittering kum-bai-ya tree.

And why it took so long to…er…rise to the occasion of making a sequel.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron described himself in his youth as a “a wild, testosterone-poisoned young man” saying he often clashed with Hollywood executives in profanity-laden tirades over some of his biggest Blockbusters.

“A lot of things I did earlier, I wouldn’t do — career-wise and just risks that you take as a wild, testosterone-poisoned young man,” he said.

“I always think of [testosterone] as a toxin that you have to slowly work out of your system,” he added.

Interestingly, before he was making Pocahontas rip-offs about blue people worshipping nature, Cameron was directing testosterone-fueled blockbusters including "Terminator" and its sequels.

Then again, he also directed "Titanic," which ended with Jack freezing to death after professing his undying love to a woman who couldn’t even be bothered to scooch over on a giant friggin’ door to give her lover a halfway decent shot at surviving hypothermia. So if you're trying to figure out exactly when Cameron got all the T out of his system, I'd make a strong case for 1997.
