Emily Blunt is owning up to her past remarks.
The Oppenheimer actress shared she regrets commenting on a person's weight during a 2012 appearance on the U.K.'s Jonathan Ross Show.
"I just need to address this head-on as my jaw was on the floor watching this clip from 12 years ago," Emily said in a statement obtained by NBC News Oct. 20. "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."
She added, "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."
But Emily isn't shying away from taking accountability. "Yet it happened, and I said it and I'm so sorry for any hurt caused," she continued. "I was absolutely old enough to know better."
Back in 2012, Emily recalled going to a Chili's restaurant while filming her movie Looper and went on to make an insensitive comment about her server.
First, talk show host Jonathan Ross noted, "If you go to Chili's, you can see why so many of our American friends are enormous."
Emily responded, "Well, the girl who was serving me was enormous. I think she got freebie meals at Chili's."
The Jungle Cruise star acted in Looper Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Paul Dano in the action-thriller, which followed a hired assassin whose future self was sent back in time to be killed.
Emily's apology comes three months after she revealed she would be taking a step back from acting to focus on her family, which includes her husband John Krasinski and their daughters Hazel, 9, and Violet, 7.
"This year, I'm not working," Emily shared on the Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast. "I worked quite a bit last year, and my oldest baby is 9, so we're in the last year of single digits."
She explained of her decision, "I just feel there are cornerstones to their day that are so important when they're little. And it's, ‘Will you wake me up? Will you take me to school? Will you pick me up? Will you put me to bed?' And I just need to be there for all of them for a good stretch. And I just felt that in my bones."

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski met in 2008, where John says that it was love at first sight.
On a visit to The Ellen Degeneres Show, he said, "I met her and I was so nervous. I was like, 'Oh god, I think I'm going to fall in love with her.' As I shook her hand I went, ‘I like you.'"
The couple—who wed in 2010—make an appearance in 2013 at the Critics' Choice Awards.
In May 2013, Blunt channels her inner character from The Devil Wears Prada alongside her husband as they party away at the Met Gala.
