MATT Damon has turned down a number of movie roles because he refuses to act in films that are too violent.

The Bourne Ultimatum star has rejected a number of scripts which include gratuitous fighting — because he’s worried it may affect people’s real-life actions.

“I always look at the violence in a script,” Damon said. “I don’t want it to be gratuitous because I do believe that has an effect on people’s behavior.

“I really do believe that and I have turned down movies because of that.”

Damon recently revealed that he feels out of place in Hollywood.

“You always feel like somebody’s going to show up and go, ‘Okay put that thing down, what the f*** are you doing here and who let you in here?” he said.

“I really feel like any moment I’m going to be caught out and I’ll have to go and get a real job. I’ve always felt that way.”
