( CNN ) -- Gary Oldman is doubling down on his apology for his recent Playboy interview . The British actor appeared on `` Jimmy Kimmel Live ! '' on Wednesday to say in person what he 's already said to the Anti-Defamation League in a letter : He very much regrets the remarks he made to Playboy about Jewish people and Hollywood . Gary Oldman apologizes for remarks . `` I said some things that were poorly considered , '' a subdued Oldman told Kimmel . `` Once I saw it in print , I could see that it was offensive , insensitive , pernicious and ill-informed . '' In the Playboy interview , Oldman gives his unfiltered opinion on political correctness and how it 's impacted controversial actors like Alec Baldwin and Mel Gibson , the latter of whom has used anti-Semitic language in the past . `` Mel Gibson is in a town that 's run by Jews and he said the wrong thing because he 's actually bitten the hand that I guess has fed him -- and does n't need to feed him anymore because he 's got enough dough , '' Oldman told the magazine . `` But some Jewish guy in his office somewhere has n't turned and said , 'That f**king kraut ' or ' F**k those Germans , ' whatever it is ? We all hide and try to be so politically correct . That 's what gets me . It 's just the sheer hypocrisy of everyone . '' Gary Oldman goes off on hypocrisy , political correctness . Within a day of Playboy releasing its interview , Oldman wrote the ADL to tell it he was `` deeply remorseful '' for what he said . And on `` Jimmy Kimmel Live , '' Oldman took the extra step to also apologize to his fans . `` Words have meaning , and they carry weight long after you 've said them , '' he said . `` I do n't condone or excuse the words that I used in any context . ... I am profoundly , profoundly sorry and deeply apologetic . Especially to the fans , they 've been so incredible to me , and I really feel that I let them down . ... I 'm a public figure , I should be an example and an inspiration . And I 'm an a-hole . I 'm 56 , and I should know better . '' Oldman also thanked Kimmel for giving him the opportunity to appear on the show and speak his piece , to which Kimmel replied , `` I 'm so happy that someone has to apologize on this show , and it 's not me for once .
