In an interview with AFP in Paris, she opened up on the comedy content evolution over the years. The actress said,
“Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life,”
Horrible Bosses fame said, earlier people could joke about anything, and it was more about educating people on how ridiculous people were. She feels now people are not allowed to joke as someone might find it offensive.
