Angelina Jolie<\/a> voiced her concerns about the U.S. and freedom of speech while promoting her latest film overseas.<\/p>\n

The Oscar-winning American actress, who was attending the annual San Sebasti\u00e1n Film Festival<\/a> in Spain on Sept. 21 to promote her movie, \u201cCouture,\u201d expressed love for her country, but added, \u201cat this time, I don\u2019t recognize it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always lived internationally. My family is international,\u201d Jolie said, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. \u201cMy friends, my life, my worldview, is equal, united, international. Anything, anywhere that divides or, of course, limits personal expressions and freedoms, from anyone, I think, is very dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jolie continued: \u201cI think these are such serious times that we have to be careful not to say things casually. These are very, very heavy times we\u2019re all living in together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Actress Angelina Jolie reflected on global unity and the America’s division at the San Sebastian Film Festival press conference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jolie\u2019s comments came as ABC\u00a0\u201cindefinitely\u201d suspended \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d<\/a> on Sept. 17\u00a0after comments from host Kimmel about the arrest in the shooting death of conservative podcaster\u00a0Charlie Kirk<\/a>. However, Kimmel is expected to return on Tuesday, Sept. 23 \u2212 sooner than expected, USA TODAY has reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kimmel, in a monologue, had said \u201cthe MAGA gang<\/a>\u201d was \u201cdesperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.\u201d Kirk, cofounder of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, was\u00a0shot and killed<\/a>\u00a0during an event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. A suspect, 22-year-old\u00a0Tyler Robinson<\/a>, has been charged with his murder.<\/p>\n

Disney-owned ABC\u2019s decision came after the head of the Federal Communications Commission appointed by President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0expressed ire at the host\u2019s comments<\/a> and broadcaster Nexstar announced intentions not to air the show.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year,\u00a0CBS announced it was canceling \u201cThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/a>\u201d\u00a0after the 2025-2026 TV season, ostensibly because of finances, with Trump and conservatives celebrating. Immediately after ABC decided to preempt Kimmel, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform in delight, further calling on NBC to cancel the remaining two broadcast late-night hosts: Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers.<\/p>\n

Jolie attends San Sebastian Film Festival to present her film \u2018Couture\u2019<\/h2>\n

Jolie attended the 73rd annual San Sebastian Film Festival for the first time ever to present her film \u201cCouture,\u201d directed by French filmmaker Alice Winocour. The film was included in the Official Competition Selection, according to a news release by the festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouture,\u201d set during Paris Fashion Week, is about three women whose lives intersect in Paris. Among them is Maxine (Angelina Jolie), an American filmmaker, who \u201cdiscovers she has breast cancer and is drawn into an unexpected connection with a familiar collaborator (Louis Garrel)”; Ada (Anyier Anei), an aspiring model, escaping a predetermined future back home in South Sudan; and Ang\u00e8le (Ella Rumpf), a makeup artist working in the shadows of the catwalks.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs their paths cross, the film reveals the quiet resilience beneath the surface of public performance and honors the unspoken solidarity shared among these women across professions, cultures and continents,\u201d the film\u2019s synopsis says<\/a>.<\/p>\n
