--- --- # Piers Morgan Mocked Daniel Craig For the Way He Carries His Child and Dads Are Clapping Back by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Oct 16, 2018 9:13 PM UTC by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Oct 16, 2018 9:13 PM UTC Piers Morgan the British TV personality, saw a photo of Daniel Craig carrying his infant daughter—and decided to mock him. His tweet featured a photo of the [James Bond star](http://time.com/4525501/daniel-craig-james-bond-return/) carrying his baby in a baby carrier and included the hashtag #emasculatedBond and the word #papoose, a term appropriated to mean a child carrier. > [](https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1051707168490221568) Twitter immediately called him out on his feelings about masculinity. [Fathers](http://time.com/5312912/history-american-fathers/) across the world sent him photos of themselves carrying their children. > [](https://twitter.com/Likosky/status/1051989018328612864) > [](https://twitter.com/joapostrophed/status/1051861183945482240) > [](https://twitter.com/kingsley%5Fa%5Frowe/status/1052193291876200448) “There is nothing more masculine than a Father taking an active role in nurturing and looking after his child,” [another user wrote](https://twitter.com/saltiregizmo/status/1051896846145216512). “About time more in the media celebrated this, I mean aren’t you right-wing oddballs always bleating on about lack of family values?” [Morgan](http://time.com/4644899/ewan-mcgregor-piers-morgan-donald-trump/) doubled down, though. In a series of [tweets](https://twitter.com/i/events/1051940343418040320), he claims that he no qualms taking care of children or even carrying them on occasion, he does have a [problem](https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1051925450958786561) with men wearing a baby carrier, despite the fact that they make holding a squirming infant slightly easier, make the infant more comfortable, make it much harder to accidentally drop a child, and letting the whole process last longer. He finds baby wearing to be women’s work, apparently. Then, in a crossover event, _Captain America_ star Chris Evans leaped to Craig’s defense, noting that Morgan has to be “uncertain” of his own masculinity to concern himself with “how another man carries his child.” > [](https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/1052011353056178176) Morgan scoffed [in response](https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1052047259733508097), “Captain America wouldn’t wear a papoose.” Morgan did find one exception to his baby-wearing rule, though, noting that UFC fighters could do whatever they wanted—however he made the exception solely on “self-preservation grounds”. > [](https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1052127994179964928) Piers Morgan Mocked Daniel Craig For Carrying His Own Child ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5426187/piers-morgan-daniel-craig/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5426187/piers-morgan-daniel-craig/"},"headline":"Piers Morgan Mocked Daniel Craig For the Way He Carries His Child and Dads Are Clapping Back","datePublished":"2018-10-16T21:13:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:55:29.457Z","description":"Does Piers Morgan know what century it is?","url":"https://time.com/5426187/piers-morgan-daniel-craig/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5426187/piers-morgan-daniel-craig/","name":"Piers Morgan Mocked Daniel Craig For the Way He Carries His Child and Dads Are Clapping Back"}}]}] ```
