People think the Pigeon Lady in Home Alone 2 is actually played by Piers Morgan

The internet seems to think that Piers Morgan looks a lot like the Pigeon Lady from Home Alone 2 and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

People have all different ways of getting into the seasonal spirit of things. For some, a big warming mug of hot chocolate is enough, for others putting up the decorations always does the trick. One thing the festivities wouldn’t be complete without though is a good old fashioned Christmas movie marathon.

Several classics make the list each year but Home Alone is always a clear winner – best make it a double feature to really kick the celebrations up a gear. With most people rewatching the seasonal favourite again for the first time since last year, one thing seems to have jumped out at viewers in particular… the uncanny resemblance between Piers Morgan and the Pigeon Lady in Home Alone 2.

Not what you thought I was going to say? It’s unexpected, I’ll give you that but once you see it, you’ll wonder how you never noticed it before.

Forced to deny that he’s actually the one behind the iconic role, Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has had a hard time convincing his colleagues  – and the internet – that it’s definitely not him.

Originally played by Irish actress Brenda Fricker, the similarities between the two are quite unnerving and well, who’s to say that it isn’t Piers Morgan after all?  Brought to public attention by his co-host Susanna Reid, she even has proof to back up her claims. Showing Morgan an image of himself from an earlier episode of the show, the photo dates back to 2018 and the controversial presenter can be seen with not one, but two pigeons on him.

Point proven? It certainly seems that way…
