Will Ferrell says he would no longer have imitated Janet Reno on Saturday Night Live
The 57-year-old actor spoke about his past impersonation on the NBC comedy show, saying, 'That's something I wouldn't choose to do now.'
The Irvine, California-born star, appearing alongside the show's ex-head writer Harper Steele (who came out as transgender in 2021), said that the impression of the late U.S. attorney general 'hits a false note now.' Ferrell said in a 1998 interview with The Washington Post magazine that he had aimed at bringing a 'broad and physical' presence to his portrayal of Reno, and was amused at the notion of a 'large woman manhandling people.'
