Ewan McGregor has taken a very public stand against Piers Morgan’s recent comments

In a way, he’s giving his movie even more publicity by doing this.

Ewan McGregor has turned down an offer to appear on ITV show Good Morning Britain in protest against Piers Morgan.

The actor was due to appear on the show this morning alongside presenters Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan, but the actor pulled out when he heard Morgan would be presenting.

He was supposed to discuss T2 Trainspotting but instead tweeted this: “Was going on Good Morning Britain, didn’t realise was host. Won’t go on with him after his comments about .”

His stance against Morgan comes after the TV host’s comments about the thousands of women who marched over the weekend following Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Morgan was made aware of the tweet while on air and read it out to viewers saying that it didn’t really matter what McGregor thought because he is “just an actor”.

He followed it up with a tweet of his own.

We have a feeling this isn’t the last time we will see words exchanged between these two and indeed Morgan couldn’t even contain himself for the rest of the show.

He said he hopes the actor wins an award at the National Television Awards he can shove the award where the sun doesn’t shine.
