Piers Morgan shares three-word statement after people think he appeared in Home Alone 2

Morgan has taken to social media to defend himself against claims that he looks like a certain character from the flick

Piers Morgan had a priceless response after people called him out for looking like a particular character from Home Alone 2.

The British journalist and broadcaster seems to go through the same thing every time Christmas swings around, and whether you like him or not, you have to admit that it's quite funny.

It's to do with one of the family favourite festive films, which was first released in 1992 and even had a cameo from President-elect Donald Trump.

Home Alone 2 is a well-loved title and is the successful sequel to the 1990 classic, both of which star Macaulay Culkin.

However, there is one character who a lot of people draw similarities to Morgan.

After Kevin (Culkin) bumps into Donald Trump, he also becomes friends with someone known as the ‘pigeon lady’.

She isn't really given another name, so that's how we'll refer to her.

People have dubbed the character "Morgan in disguise," taking to X to express their shock at how similar they look, with one even comparing her to 'Piers Morgan with a wig on'.

One viewer even joked on X: “@piersmorgan I just have to applaud you for your stellar acting work in Home Alone 2.”

Another put: “Annual reminder that Piers Morgan got his start as the pigeon lady in Home Alone 2.”

This resulted in him taking to social media on December 1, responding to a tweet that read: "Not sure how many acting credits he has but this is @piersmorgan’s finest work."⁠

⁠Morgan simply said: "It's. Not. Me."

People are so persistent with saying the bloke played the role that he ended up having to publicly deny it on TV.

Back in 2020, when he still presented Good Morning Britain, his co-host Susanna Reid claimed she could prove it.

Reid said: “Can we just have a look at Home Alone 2 because, frankly, it is the best picture.

“Because lots of people watch Home Alone 2 and wonder if this is you.”

Morgan responded: “Why does this keep coming around? That is not me. I am not the bag lady in Home Alone 2.”

Reid then showed ‘proof’ with a snap of him covered in pigeons for an episode in 2018, as even his own son brought it to light.

Brenda Fricker, who actually played the pigeon lady, apparently finds this whole thing hilarious too.

Although one user wrote on X: “I’d call Piers Morgan the Pigeon Lady from Home Alone but that’d be insulting to her … and to the pigeons.”

Ouch.

Meanwhile, others joked that the set of the film was where he first met Trump.

I mean, he can deny it all he likes but it really does look like him.
