Anna Faris has revealed that a joke aimed at US First Lady Melania Trump was removed from the latest Scary Movie film before its cinema release. She said the joke never made the final edit as she reflects on the franchise's boundary-pushing humour.
Speaking to Dexerto, the actress said she had hoped to take her iconic character, Cindy Campbell, in a more overtly political direction. Faris envisioned Cindy as someone who had disappeared down a 'classic MAGA rabbit hole' and embodied the conspiracy-fuelled behaviour seen during the Covid-19 pandemic.
