Ewan McGregor Cancels ‘Good Morning Britain’ Appearance Because He Disagrees With Piers Morgan

Holy mother of immaturity. And no. I’m actually not talking about Piers Morgan.

According to this, Trainspotting star Ewan McGregor was supposed to appear on “Good Morning Britain” to talk a little bit about Trainspotting‘s sequel but canceled at the last minute after realizing that he’d have to talk to Piers Morgan. Why the sudden hard feelings toward Morgan? Because he criticized the Women’s March on Washington, of course!

Was going on Good Morning Britain, didn’t realise @piersmorgan was host. Won’t go on with him after his comments about #WomensMarch

Morgan explained how it all went down in a column for the Daily Mail–

McGregor arrived with a large Hollywood-style entourage at the ITV studios in London, where I currently co-host Good Morning Britain.

 

They were all escorted to the green room, where an argument then started with our editorial team because McGregor apparently hadn’t realized I was going to be involved with the interview.

 

He refused point blank to do it unless I was removed and it was performed by my co-host Susanna Reid.

This demand was denied, as were further demands for the interview to be severely shortened and to be restricted purely to talk about his new movie, T2 Trainspotting.
So, enraged that he couldn’t do the interview on the terms he wanted, McGregor left.

 

In the studio itself, we were warned there may be a slight ‘issue’ with McGregor appearing on the sofa, five minutes before he was due on.

Morgan responded thusly:

He’s right. How ridiculous and unprofessional is that? You won’t do an interview about your movie because you disagree with the host’s view on something completely unrelated?

Sorry to hear that @mcgregor_ewan – you should be big enough to allow people different political opinions. You’re just an actor after all.

A real man would have come on and debated it with me, not run away like a coward. https://t.co/z5HmkFASwM

Here’s my @DailyMail column on the #womensmarch that caused Ewan McGregor to throw his thespian tantrum today: https://t.co/cI6Atd0bWq pic.twitter.com/aV9eq7ZnWL

We had no intention of talking to McGregor about the Women’s March. https://t.co/DDIOHG7hGN

Why should actors be deemed to have more important or correct political opinions than anyone else? https://t.co/c1wJHijASa

Ewan McGregor IS just an actor, not a brain surgeon. https://t.co/3zXqGY7kyg

How do you square your women’s rights hero status with loving child rapists, @mcgregor_ewan? You flaming hypocrite. https://t.co/JzM8ikcIJp pic.twitter.com/Znt8MSq0DJ

Anyone who voted Trump or Brexit should boycott @mcgregor_ewan‘s movies.
He holds you in utter contempt. https://t.co/JzM8ikcIJp pic.twitter.com/qpdF3OeD8V

We were going to talk about his film but if he wanted to take me on over the march, he should have had the balls to do it on air. https://t.co/xvgEzxXRfl

Yeah, and I just called HIM out for his child rapist loving hypocrisy. https://t.co/JzM8ikcIJp https://t.co/o7AZyW2k8x

There’s more where that came from.

Not. Enough. Popcorn.
