The actor says he gets worried that the action sequences may affect people's real-life actions, reports a web site.

"I always look at the violence (in a script). I don't want it to be gratuitous because I do believe that has an effect on people's behaviour. I really do believe that and I have turned down movies because of that," said Damon.
