The 54-year-old actress, who is widely known for her portrayal of Rachel Green in the show, acknowledged that comedy and culture have evolved over the years, making it important to be cautious about what is deemed acceptable in today's society.
Speaking to AFP, Aniston expressed her desire for people to be able to make fun of themselves a little more freely, acknowledging that it can be difficult for comedians to navigate the current climate. She reminisced about how, in the past, it was possible to make jokes about certain topics and educate people on important issues, but now, there is more sensitivity surrounding these matters.
Aniston went on to explain that while some of the jokes made on 'Friends' were unintentionally offensive, others should have been more carefully considered. She expressed her belief that the world needs humor, particularly in the United States, where the country is becoming increasingly divided.
Aniston emphasized the importance of comedy and the need to not take ourselves too seriously. She recognized that times have changed, and it's necessary to be mindful of what we say and how we say it, but ultimately, humor is a valuable tool in bringing people together.
