As per Animated Times, during an interview with AFP in March 2023, Jennifer Aniston got honest about her opinions on censored comedy. “You could joke about a bigot and have a laugh. That was hysterical,” she pointed out. As per the actress, people could make jokes on various topics without fear, but now one has to be extremely careful of their opinions.
