Jim Carrey openly disses Kick-Ass 2. A case of biting the hand that feeds him?
KICK-ASS 2’s makers wanted an actor who was weird and wonderful – and got everything they bargained for in Jim Carrey. By all accounts, the veteran comic actor gave a kick-butt performance as a patriotic vigilante, then proceeded to kick the movie in its teeth when he refused to do promotions for it because he thought it too violent. This is bizarre since he had appeared to be a fan of the first film, which was no less violent, and was so enthusiastic during the filming of Kick-Ass 2 that he paid out of his own pocket for his character’s prosthetics.
