TV presenter Piers Morgan is facing a furious backlash after questioning James Bond star Daniel Craig’s masculinity for wearing a baby carrier.
The Good Morning Britain host posted the mocking comments on Twitter along with an image showing Craig carrying his month-old daughter on his front “in what is often known as a papoose”, reports the BBC.
Captain America actor Chris Evans was quick to defend Craig, who is married to fellow actor Rachel Weisz.

Uncharacteristically, Trump did not respond.
