Yesterday, Piers Morgan posted a photo on Twitter of actor Daniel Craig walking down the street while carrying his newborn daughter. It’s an image to set off many a woman’s ovary because, let’s face it, there’s no sight more appealing to a new mother than seeing a dad take on some of the parenting load.
Craig, 50, and his wife Rachel Weisz, 48, welcomed their daughter in September, so I’d like to think he is out grabbing some coffee and croissants while Weisz is at home sleeping off a night of breastfeeding and settling the baby.
Morgan didn’t see it that way, however, posting the photo on Twitter with the snarky comment, “oh 007…not you as well? #papoose #emasculatedbond”. It’s clever, you see, because Craig plays James Bond, the manliest, toughest of men, and as if he would be seen carrying around a baby? (I think Piers Morgan has run out of things to complain about.)
Twitter has responded to the bizarre comment in the best way, with dads posting photos carrying their own babes.
Some also took the opportunity to share pics of other celebrity dads carrying their babies.
Good one, dads. This is what real men look like.
