Jim Carrey, star of Kick-Ass 2, has withdrawn support for the film following the Sandy Hook massacre.

Carrey tweeted: "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 involved with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart," he added.

Carrey is well-known for his support of gun control measures.

Kick-Ass 2 sees Chloe Moretz and Aaron Taylor-Johnson reprise their roles as high school pupils turned DIY superheroes Hit Girl and Kick-Ass. The movie will be released in the UK on August 14 and the US on August 16.

Welp... he's still in it but it's lovely to see him stand up for what's right.

Wow! Ok, well, I understand his decision

seaɴ.

He shouldn't not promote his film because of problems in the world, but if he wants to that's his decision and good for him.

Not to come off like a pessimist, but it's easy for him to say now that he's got his paycheck from it.

Okay that's great, I'll expect every penny of his paycheck to go towards charity then.

He also misses the point of the movies and the fact that the violence in the movie is not inconsequential.
