Angelina Jolie Criticizes U.S. Free Speech Restrictions

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie expressed concern over the state of free speech in the United States during a press conference at the San Sebastián Film Festival in Spain. When asked about her fears regarding freedom of expression in the U.S., Jolie stated, "I love my country, but I don't at this time recognise my country." She emphasized that any actions limiting personal expression and freedoms are dangerous, describing the current times as "very, very heavy."

Jolie's comments come amid growing concerns over President Donald Trump's crackdown on critical media, including the recent suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's show following comments about the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

At the festival, Jolie was promoting her latest film, Couture, where she portrays an American film director facing personal and health challenges. The film is competing for the festival's top honor, the Golden Shell. Jolie shared that she personally relates to her character's struggles, having undergone a double mastectomy and the removal of her ovaries and fallopian tubes due to a high genetic risk of cancer.
