The actress stumbled upon a video from the show which is now circulating on social media. She has now issued a statement to People in which she apologised for her language. The video has Emily Blunt say, “If you go to Chili’s you can see why so many of our American friends are enormous. Well the girl who was serving me was enormous.”

In her statement, Emily said, “I just need to address this head-on as my jaw was on the floor watching this clip from 12 years ago. I’m appalled that I would say something so insensitive, hurtful, and unrelated to whatever story I was trying to tell on a talk show.”

Blunt continued, “I’ve always considered myself someone who wouldn’t dream of upsetting anyone so whatever possessed me to say anything like this in that moment is unrecognizable to me or anything I stand for. And yet it happened, and I said it and I’m so sorry for any hurt caused. I was absolutely old enough to know better.”

In 2012 when she commented on the weight of the anonymous waiter, Emily Blunt was about to appear in Looper opposite headliners Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis. 

Emily Blunt was last seen in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. She played Oppenheimer's wife, with the titular character being played by Cillian Murphy.
