Jim Carrey withdraws his support from ‘Kick-Ass 2’ due to its violent themes

Jim Carrey isn’t joking around.

The comedic actor withdrew his support for his upcoming film “Kick-Ass 2,” explaining that he can’t stand behind the movie’s violent themes.

“I did Kickass [sic] a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence,” he tweeted on Sunday, referring to the shootings that killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school last December.

“My apologies… to others involve[d] with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart.”

The movie, which will head to theaters this summer, is a sequel to the 2010 flick “Kick-Ass,” based off of a comic book by the same name.
