Piers Morgan Denies He Is The Pigeon Lady In Home Alone 2

British broadcaster Piers Morgan has been forced to respond to claims that he is the actor who played the ‘Pigeon Lady’ in the sequel to festive favourite Home Alone.

In Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Kevin McCallister, played by Macaulay Culkin, befriends a homeless woman surrounded by birds.

Initially, Kevin is afraid of the Pigeon Lady, but she ultimately comes to his rescue and helps save him when Harry Lyme and Marv Murchins attack him in Central Park.

After learning about how she became ‘Pigeon Lady’, Kevin gifts her a turtledove.

However, eagle-eyed viewers pointed out how much the woman looked like Piers Morgan.

One X user wrote, "Watching Home Alone lost in New York and forgot Piers Morgan has a role in this film."

"Everything he’s done since has been s***e," another wrote.

Morgan responded to the tweet, which had a photograph of the Pigeon Lady alongside the caption: "Not sure how many acting credits he has but this is @piersmorgan’s finest work."

“It’s. Not. Me,” Morgan wrote.

One X user said: "It’s literally you."

"Just say 'Thank you for supporting my work', and move on," another suggested.

"It’s that time of year again, Piers. Hope you get a big residual check this year," another person added.

The Pigeon Lady is actually played by Irish actor Brenda Fricker, who is considered one of the best Irish actors of all time, according to The Irish Times.
