Ben Stiller says he doubts if Tropic Thunder would be made today: ‘Edgier comedy is just harder to do’

Ben Stiller has recently shared that he isn’t sure if his 2008 film Tropic Thunder, that starred Robert Downey Jr, would be made today.

In an interview, Stiller explained that he doubted the current environment was suitable for “edgier comedy” like Tropic Thunder.

Last year, Stiller responded to a fan on X who asked the actor to “stop apologising for doing this movie”.
