For a new parent, a baby carrier can be a lifesaver, as it keeps you from having to bring a stroller with you everywhere or tire out your arms by lugging around a tiny human for hours on end. Yet Bond actor Daniel Craig has found himself the subject of extremely bizarre criticism from none other than Piers Morgan, who attempted to parent-shame Craig for… wearing a papoose to carry his daughter?
Actress Rachel Weisz, who married Craig in 2011, gave birth to their first child together last month and, like countless other parents, Craig recently used a baby carrier while he walked around town with his newborn daughter.
For most people, this photo wouldn’t even warrant a second look but Morgan decided that this photo was deeply shameful for Craig posted it with the caption: “Oh 007.. not you as well?!!! #papoose #emasculatedBond.” This very unfunny tweet was, unsurprisingly, not met with enthusiasm from his followers and just about everyone else who saw it.

Considering that Morgan’s original tweet received a little over 500 likes and this reply received over 7,500, it seems pretty obvious that Morgan managed to pull off a pretty epic self-own in his laughable attempt at calling out the Bond actor’s manhood. Morgan even managed to play the victim card, claiming that Twitter was attempting to bully him by simply letting him know his outdated, sexist tweet was dumb.
A man carrying his own child is a sign of masculinity and responsibility.
Morgan must not have kids or he paid others to take care if them.
OOOOkay? What is wrong with a father carrying his baby? I’m confused.
A man carrying his own offspring, not caring what emasculated men think, us a sign of masculinity and responsibility. I did this same dang thing wearing my US Army uniform on the flight back from Germany when I existed the service. And the (male) bus driver for the airline who took up from the airplane to the terminal yelled at me for keeping my son out in the snowy weather.
Morgan is wrong on this one.
As long as he’s not wearing it in a Bond movie, I’m okay.
YES. A man taking care of a baby is SEXY AS HELL.
“A man carrying his own child is a sign of masculinity and responsibility.”
And is incapable of defending wife and child.
It looks like a protective way to carry a child. On the back in a back pack is not protective.
My wife would have liked me to use her Baby Bjorn. I told her nothing doing. If I am going to carry my children, I’ll just use my own arms, thank you. I can even hold one in one arm and hold a doughnut in the other after Mass.
Probably a few Bonds later...
It depend on where the shots are coming from...
No man is so tall as when he stoops to help a small child......
Join the club. We meet every Tuesday. :)
My dad used to carry me around and even changed my diaper a time or two.
He likes to tell about the time he was carrying me around and some lady cooed over me and asked how he managed to keep that bow on my almost bald baby head. Without turning a hair he solemnly answered "straight pin".
She nearly fainted. Later my mom set her straight but it was funny.
Good grief, it was just a joke.
My son’s father and I both used these when my son was a baby. It made life much easier for us and more secure for the little guy. Nothing unmanly about it. Piers went overboard on this one.
The only time those people are real to us is when they are doing their work stuff.
The guy could wear dresses at home and nobody would care.
What's that you say?
He does?
When is Piers due?
And is incapable of defending wife and child.
True, but maybe a man carrying a baby shouldn't take his wife and child to a place where he needs to defend them.
Looks to me like a responsible father.
I thought Piers was mad at us and moved back to England?
