Piers Morgan's father may now be eligible for a free bus pass, but Instagram users believe he looks young enough to pass as the controversial TV presenter's younger sibling.
The former Good Morning Britain host took to his Instagram account on Tuesday to share a picture of himself and his father to celebrate his dad Glynne Pughe-Morgan's special day.
"Happy 80th Birthday to my Dad... a great man who taught me the two golden rules in life: 1) Always be polite to police officers and 2) Always drink the best French wine you can afford," Piers captioned the snap to his 1.7 million Instagram followers.
In the image, the 56-year-old is seen smiling as he pours from a large champagne bottle next to his beloved father, Glynne who is wearing a cream suit and looking remarkably younger than his 80 years.
Athlete Brett Lee cheekily commented "Looks like your younger brother" to which Piers replied "I know..." with laughing face emojis, implying he took the observation with good grace.
This isn't the first time social media has been wowed by Glynne's youthful appearance.
In 2020, Piers shared a throwback picture of the pair and commented that his dad "looks younger than me every year."
Social media seemed to agree, with one user writing: "Your Dad? Wow! He doesn't look old enough."
Former WAG Lizzie Cundy commented: "Wow !! He looks like your brother not your Dad! Good genes!"
Piers, who left his role as host of Good Morning Britain after his comments about Meghan Markle, took Glynne's name after his mother remarried following the death of his biological father.
The journalist was born Piers Stefan O'Meara in 1965 to parents Gabrielle and Eamonn Vincent O'Meara, an Irish dentist from County Offaly.
Eamonn tragically died in a road accident when Piers was just 11-months-old and his brother Jeremy was three.
Piers has no memory of his dentist father, but is extremely proud of his Irish roots.
His mother would go on to remarry, tying the knot with Glynne Pughe-Morgan, whose surname Piers would go on to take on.
