Mr T slams A-Team film for too much sex, violence

MELBOURNE - Hollywood actor Mr. T has lashed out at movie A-Team, accusing it of having too much sex and violence.
Mr. T played BA Baracus in the original hit TV show in the 1980s. He refused to appear in a cameo role in the new movie.
The new film stars Liam Neeson, Jessica Biel and Bradley Cooper, reports The Daily Telegraph.
The 58-year-old actor was shocked with the graphic violence and obscenity in a preview of the A-Team movie.
“People die in the film and there’s plenty of sex but when we did it, no one got hurt and it was all played for fun and family entertainment,” Mr T said.
“These seem to be elements nobody is interested in anymore. It was too graphic for me. I’ve no doubt it will do big business at the box office but it’s nothing like the show we turned out every week,” he added. (ANI)
