These are heavy times, says Angelina Jolie amid threats to freedom of speech in the US

Actress Angelina Jolie says she loves her country but doesn’t recognise it anymore amid the threats to free speech. “Anything anywhere that divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms from anyone, I think, is very dangerous,“ she said at Spain’s San Sebastián film festival. The Oscar-winning actress was asked by a journalist, “What do you fear as an artist and an American?”

“It is a very difficult question,” Jolie replied, in a video shared by The Guardian from the festival. “I love my country, but at this time, I don’t recognise my country.” She added, “These are such serious times that we have to be careful not to say things casually. These are very, very heavy times we are living in together.”
