Controversial broadcaster Piers Morgan is no stranger to making headlines; however, this time, it’s not because of what he’s said or tweeted, it’s because of his uncanny resemblance to a character in the holiday classic, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, which stars Macaulay Culkin and also features a cameo by president Donald Trump.
After comparing pictures of Morgan and the pigeon lady in the Home Alone sequel, social media users everywhere have all been posing the same question:
