[Closed] Ewan McGregor and Piers Morgan

Good have done it on the quiet. This way Smuggin's little show gets more publicity.

Of more import, is the fact Mr McGregor seems to be morphing into Boy George.

I'd hope more people feel the best thing for Piers Morgan is to ignore him.

In response to McGregor's decision, Morgan tweeted: "Sorry to hear that @mcgregor_ewan - you should be big enough to allow people different political opinions. You're just an actor after all."

Whereas Piers is the host of a breakfast show, so his opinion is obviously far more valid 🙄

Morgan's co-presenter Susanna Reid tweeted: "Such a shame. Challenge views where there's difference. Would have liked to see that debate on air - it's an important one. #WomensMarch."

Maybe Ewan would rather have been there to talk about his film? He is just an actor after all.

Or perhaps he felt that two men debating the legitimacy of the the Women's March might be a bit pathetic.

I saw the original interview and I'm amazed that Morgan is still in a job , unless its car crash TV and people watch to see the histrionics and the look on Susanna Reid's face when he makes a dick of himself

I was hoping Morgan had been given a smack. Disappointed.

Apparently he didn't come on and debate it because he's not 'a real man', according to Morgan.

So much enlightenment on gender issues from Piers.

Susanna needs the dosh, but she should really step aside and allow the Morgan/Katie Hopkins dream team to assemble.

I saw Piers Morgan's name trending on twitter and for a fleeting moment my heart soared.

😀

You're [b]just[/b] an actor after all.

that'll come back to kick him the nuts time and time again. good mornings producers will be spitting nails

Hadn't thought of that. 😀

I wonder who will be the first one to use the 'but I'm just an actor' response when asked anything which isn't about their new film or show?

Indeed, you'd think they might have found at least one woman for the photo op.

People like PM are immune to reason and just want to 'debate' so they can foghorn their bad ideas at someone.

It is true, Ewan M is just an actor, in the same vein, Piers M is just a journalist, neither of them have the absolute answer to anything, either is though allowed an opinion. Trouble in this day and age is that their opinions go far further than they should. In our celebrity deity driven society, I would imagine more people would trust Ewan M than their local MP. Sad times. TBH, best thing is not to watch the program, then ££££ lost through lower viewing figures would drive change.

Well he is also [url= https://www.unicef.org.uk/celebrity-supporters/ewan-mcgregor/ ]Unicef UK Ambassador[/url]

He has supported Unicef since his motorbike adventure, The Long Way Round, in 2004 and has continued to advocate for children ever since.

Ewan’s support for refugee children

In 2016, Ewan travelled to northern Iraq to see how the conflicts sweeping across Iraq and Syria are devastating children’s lives. During his visit, he met with families in the Debaga camp who have escaped brutal violence currently taking place in areas surrounding Mosul in the north of the country. Among them was a girl called Mirna, with whom Ewan immediately bonded.

“Mirna told me how her family slept in a disused, half-constructed shopping mall for over a year,” Ewan said. “She introduced me to the reality of what that’s like. It’s easy to be baffled by the figures—28 million children are displaced. It’s so difficult to imagine, it’s impossible to comprehend, but when I think that, I think of Mirna. She’s one of them.”

We are working to protect children across Iraq and Syria, delivering life-saving food, clean water and vaccines, as well as providing education and psychological support.

The underlying irony being that the original row was about a woman talking about women's voices being silenced, only to shouted over and harangued by Morgan and that it has now reverted to willy waving between Morgan and Mgregor [ having seen some of his early films my money is on Mcgregor ]

Well he is also Unicef UK Ambassador

Even more reason to ignore him, that's the biggest luvvie circle jerk there is.

McGregor has enough of a career that he can decide who he has to spend time with, and face it, who wants to spend time with Morgan.
And whoever up there ???? described Morgan as a journalist, please don't, it insults real journalists.

Whereas Piers is

The United Nations Children's Fund is a United Nations (UN) programme headquartered in New York City that provides humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries.

I doubt Ewan not appears on GMB will make much of a difference to the box office taskings for T2 anyway.
I must admit if I was him being interviewed by Piers, I'd be talking through gritted teeth whilst being physically restrained.

Ewan should have used his Jedi mind tricks on Piers & got him to stick his head up his own ass!

Call me cynical, but I can't help thinking this is all rather carefully orchestrated to appeal to the 40-somethings who enjoyed Trainspotting in there youth, but are now fully-grown, liberal-minded, Morgan-hating members of society.

Not sure if any of that is meant to offend.

liberal-minded, Morgan-hating members of society.

Mmm, yeah, it's not as if Piers Morgan has been an angel all these years and then goes and ruins it with one silly slip of the tongue.

Katie Hopkins I suspect.

And she is definitely a massive member.

Like him or not, he had a point about that woman and the kids shoes...

As for whether there really are 'rampant feminists' - what do we think? I've met a couple I would describe as 'dramatic' but not 'rampant'.

Remember how that referendum thing highlighted the fact that there are a lot of people with different opinions to the STW Hive Mind? Well, it extends to taste in people as well... No, honestly! 😆

Like him or not, he had a point about that woman and the kids shoes...

I had to Google that.

£325 pair of shoes for a 3 year old child! Who has 60 different pairs!

He certainly had a point.

Calm down it's not like he's done anything dreadful like hacking the phone of a man nursing his dying wife.

He certainly had a point.

Even a stopped c[s]l[/s]ock is right twice a day. If only for a second.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. If only for a second.

Unless its Trump's stopped clock, it which case it is the most right a clock has even been, period.

and obvs its a clock with big hands

To be fair, his vocal opposition to gun ownership, pretty much lost him the $$$$ American gig. So some principles

Choose BBC Breakfast...

This...this is something else. Surely the headline alone isn't allowed?

Surely the headline alone isn't allowed?

It's the Daily Wail.

However, Roman Polanski is a convicted pedophile and McGregor did say "he’s an old man who I’m incredibly fond of". So it could be true he loves a pedophile.

Roman Polanski is a convicted pedophile

Given the victim was 13 years old then he was more likely a hebephile.
