Ewan McGregor has pulled out of an interview on Good Morning Britain after finding out that Piers Morgan was hosting.
The Scottish actor, who was due to appear on Tuesday’s show, refused to be interviewed by Morgan following his disparaging comments about the Women’s March.
“Was going on Good Morning Britain, didn't realise @piersmorgan was host. Won't go on with him after his comments about #WomensMarch,” the actor wrote on Twitter.
Morgan responded to the comments by writing: “Sorry to hear that mcgregor_ewan - you should be big enough to allow people different political opinions. You're just an actor after all."
He followed this up by simply tweeting the word: “Vainspotting.”
Morgan went on to say that he had ‘no intention’ of talking to McGregor about the Women’s March, and had simply planned to discuss his new film Trainspotting 2.

The controversial broadcaster then told his followers that he was in the process of writing an entire column about the actor.
“I'll be writing a column about @mcgregor_ewan today, once I have sent it to him for his approval,” he posted.
His co-host Susanna Reid added: “Such a shame. Challenge views where there's difference. Would have liked to see that debate on air - it's an important one. #WomensMarch.”
