PIERS Morgan has shared his appreciation for McDonald’s staff after being treated at the fast food chain in New York.
The 57-year-old TalkTV host jokingly claimed he may have been mistaken for Brad Pitt after being flocked by workers in the Alden branch.
Taking to Instagram to document the outing, Piers shared a snap of himself alongside six delighted McDonald’s workers.
The GMB star – who is currently in America to film his serial killer documentaries – beamed in the shot as the staff members appeared just as happy.
Captioning the post, Piers penned: “Think they thought I was Brad Pitt.
“Thanks to the fabulous staff at @mcdonalds in Alden, New York for great service, and a cracking Big Mac… I’m lovin’ it.”
Fans rushed to share their thoughts on the shot, with one saying: “Go Piers not sure about the Brad Pitt though.”
A second added: “Lovely photo of you all. Nice that you have raised their profile, as those kids in Maccas work hard.”
A third posted: “Does Brad Pitt eat McDonald’s?”
While the star’s personal trainer Sarah Lindsay exclaimed: “Piers!”

Piers enlisted the help of Sarah after revealing his 2021 resolution was to weigh the same as his TV rival Eamonn Holmes, who dropped from 18st to 15st.
The former GMB host explained he weighed 16st after a gruelling work schedule and lockdown saw his weight creep up.
Vowing to get in shape, he said: “My resolution is to weigh the same as Eamonn Holmes by the end of 2021.”
Last year, the television star shared a glimpse into his gruelling PT sessions whilst being put through his paces with Sarah at Roar Fitness.
Posting a sweaty snap of himself alongside Sarah, he wrote: “Back in the game. PS You’ll never break me @roarfitnessgirl.”
Sarah – who is a former speed skater, three-time Olympian and nine-time British Ladies Champion – previously praised Piers for his “resilience” during the sessions.
Speaking to Fab Daily, she said: “Piers could definitely have been an Olympian.
“He’s the most competitive man on the planet and you need that streak to make it to the top of any sporting field.

She added: “If I tell him he’s had a good session, his reply will be, ‘I know’.”
