Emily Blunt is responding to a recently released video of her employing “insensitive” & “hurtful” language during a 2012 talk show interview. In a recently unearthed YouTube clip from the United Kingdom’s Jonathan Ross Show, the Oppenheimer star remembers going out for a meal at a restaurant while shooting Looper in the United States, and afterwards alludes to a restaurant waitress as “enormous.” Blunt has issued an apology in a message to People magazine. “I simply have to address this head-on as my jaw was on the floor witnessing this clip from 12 years ago,” she wrote in an email. “I’m horrified that I could say something so dismissive, detrimental, and unconnected to whatever story I was attempting to share on a talk show.”

“I’ve always regarded myself as an individual who would never dream of hurting anyone, therefore what drove me to say anything such as this at that moment is unrecognisable to me regardless of what I stand for,” she continued. And yet that happened, and I stated it, and I apologise for any harm caused. I was more than mature enough to know better.” Blunt can be observed in the video chatting with host Jonathan Ross recalling an occasion when she consumed dinner at a Chili’s restaurant while shooting the Rian Johnson-directed thriller. “Visit Chili’s and you’ll see why the number of our American friends is enormous,” Ross says. Blunt went on, “Well, the girl who was assisting me was enormous.” During her visit to the restaurant, she said the server recognized her. In Looper, which was released in 2012, the Edge of Tomorrow actress starred alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, and Paul Dano.

Emily Blunt Has Responded To Old Video That Showed Her Using “Insensitive” And “Hurtful” Language During A 2012 Talk Show Appearance

A resurfaced 2012 talk show appearance of Emily Blunt using insensitive language has led her to apologize. In September 2012, Blunt, 40, appeared on the U.K.’s Jonathan Ross Show, during which she refers to a restaurant server as “enormous” while recalling her time in the United States making Looper. “I just have to address this head-on as I couldn’t help but fall to my knees watching this clip from 12 years ago,” Blunt says in a statement. My heart breaks for what I said on a talk show; it was so hurtful, insensitive, and unrelated to whatever story I was trying to tell.” “I’ve always regarded myself as someone who has no intention of offending anyone so whatever prompted me to say anything like this at that moment is unrecognisable to me irrespective of what I stand for,” she said. “However, it occurred and I said it, and I’m deeply sorry for any harm caused.”

I was more than mature enough to comprehend better.” During shooting, Blunt recounts attending supper at a local Chili’s restaurant, to which talk show host Jonathan Ross responds, “If you go to Chili’s, you are able to see the reason why the amounts of our American friends are enormous.” “Well, the girl who was assisting me was enormous,” Blunt responds, before revealing that the waiter in question remembered her from her previous visit to the establishment. Looper stars Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, and Paul Dano, and was writer-director Rian Johnson’s third feature-length picture. Blunt’s appearance also involves the actor detailing how she learnt to chop wood for the movie and exhibiting her talents for Ross, who is now 62. English comedian John Bishop, late actor Michael Gambon, as well as music producer David Guetta featured among the guests on that September 22, 2012 programme, along with Jack Antonoff.
