Ewan McGregor was all set for an appearance on ‘Good Morning Britain’ today to promote new movie ‘T2: Trainspotting’, but looks to have cancelled it at the last minute when he discovered Piers Morgan is the show’s host.

Taking to Twitter, he said:

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

Morgan, who has frequently shown his support for Donald Trump, caused controversy after tweeting: “I’m planning a ‘Men’s March’ to protest at the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists. Who’s with me?”

He then hit back at McGregor’s tweet:

Sorry to hear that @mcgregor_ewan – you should be big enough to allow people different political opinions. You're just an actor after all.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 24, 2017

Some of McGregor’s followers appeared to agree with the move.

@mcgregor_ewan @womensmarchlon thank you. @itv @GMB take note. This is what integrity looks like.

@mcgregor_ewan top man! Good to see people stand up to this hateful swing to the far right in the US and UK.

Some, rather less so…

@mcgregor_ewan @piersmorgan why not? challenge people, challenge their views and present coherent arguments why they are wrong #standup

@mcgregor_ewan @piersmorgan pathetic. You're supposed to be a grown man, act like one
