In the aftermath of massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that happened in December 2012, Jim Carrey has withdrawn his support for the movie Kick-Ass 2.

The actor, who plays Colonel Stars and Stripes in the film, finished his scenes last November and few weeks after that, 20 children and six adults were killed by a gunman at Connecticut school. Jim says that the level of violence in the movie is something he can’t support.

He posted on Twitter on Sunday: “I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence. My apologies to others involve with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart.” Kick-Ass 2 is the sequel to the 2010 hit movie and it is directed by Jeff Wadlow. The film is scheduled for release in August.
