Emily Blunt is addressing a resurfaced video of her using an insensitive remark to describe someone’s weight!
An old video of the British actress from 2012 recently made waves on the Internet, and fans were less than pleased, slamming Blunt for embarrassing a waitress. The “Quiet Place” star, however, took responsibility and offered a sincere apology.
Emily Blunt Says She Knows Better Than Calling ‘Enormous’ Servers
On social media, a clip from Blunt’s September 2012 appearance on the “Jonathan Ross Show” resurfaced. During the interview, the Londoner was there to promote the movie “Looper” when he recalled a conversation he had with a waiter during dinner at a local Chili’s restaurant.

He called the waiter “huge” and apparently took a shot at American dining culture. Following a backlash from fans online, Blunt issued an apology in a statement to People Magazine.
“I just have to deal with this because my jaw is on the floor watching this clip from 12 years ago. I was shocked that I would say something so insensitive, hurtful, and unrelated to whatever story I was trying to tell on the talk show.”
The Golden Globe award winner continued, “I’ve always considered myself someone who wouldn’t dream of upsetting anyone so whatever possessed me to say something like this at the time I couldn’t recognize or whatever I was fighting for.”
Not afraid to take responsibility for her words, Blunt concluded, “But it happened, and I’m saying it and I’m very sorry for any hurt caused. I’m old enough to know better.”
In a video that has now gone viral, Blunt jokingly said to Ross, “If you go to Chile, you can see why so many of our American friends are so great. The girl that served me was so big, you know, I think she got a free meal at Chilli’s.”
The talk show host replied, “There’s nothing wrong with that,” but that didn’t seem to stop the “Oppenheimer” star who continued to rave about the hilarious interaction with the server.
“And he came out and he said ‘Has anyone ever told you that you look like Emily Blunt?’ the 40-year-old recalled trying to imitate a southern accent. “I said ‘I’ve heard that.’ Yes.’ And he said ‘Are you Emily Blunt?’”

Blunt eventually confirmed to the waitress that she was indeed a Hollywood star, and they continued a humorous conversation about the movie “Looper,” which Blunt was filming at the time. In the sci-fi film, Blunt starred alongside Paul Dano, Bruce Willis, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Fans Hate Emily Blunt For Being ‘Cruel’ & ‘Unnecessary’
Netizens wasted no time sharing their thoughts on the viral video and calling Blunt out for her “unnecessary” comments. One fan wrote, “The actual interaction with the server was a cute funny story, he could have said there was no need to portray the server… it didn’t add anything to the story, just gross.”
Another statement read, “that comment is so unnecessary wtf???? why are people so OBSESSED with other people’s weight.” One angry fan wrote, “Imagine being a waitress all day and you meet a celebrity you love and admire and have what you think is a really cool and pleasant interaction and you see her the next day on TV calling you awesome. Emily Blunt is so —–g lost.”
One shocked yet disappointed fan wrote, “Fat Emily Blunt is not on my 2023 bingo card but here we are,” while another shared the same sentiment adding, “Ugh f–k Emily Blunt is seriously one of my favorite actresses me but it turns out she’s a mean and unfunny girl who thinks it’s funny to point out the size of a server when it doesn’t add anything to the story – for a sham.”
Others, however, came to Blunt’s defense, calling it a slip of the tongue. “I’m sorry, I totally understand that what Emily Blunt said was completely wrong… but do you all mean to tell me that not ONCE in the last 12 years have you not commented on someone’s appearance??? I think that’s a lie, tbh,” said one fan.

Another wrote, “the level of unemployment for people to try and cancel Emily’s bluntness over a joke that wasn’t properly stated 12 YEARS AGO so ?????!!!!!”
