The Good Morning Britain host sent waves among his Twitter following tonight, when he shared a clip of him smoking a joint with Mike Tyson.
As he shared a joint with Mike Tyson, who films his Hotboxin’ Podcast in California, LA, he laughed with the professional boxer as they smoked on camera.
Piers Morgan and Mike were smoking legally, with the use of cannabis being permitted for both medicinal and recreational use in the State of Los Angeles.
The 54-year-old shared a clip of him smoking on Twitter, with the caption: “When in Rome…”
“When in Rome, right?”

In the recording, Mike hands Piers the joint as the TV host asked what he was supposed to do with it.
Mike quickly responded telling him to “smoke it”, as Piers appeared shocked while he held the joint in hand.
Lighting it up and taking a puff, Mike was whooping as Piers inhaled the drug, before chuckling to himself and saying: “When in Rome, right?”
As Piers shared the tweet to his 6.6m followers, users quickly rushed to share their thoughts on the clip.

However, one user wasn’t impressed with the clip, writing: “Piers will now act like he’s an expert during every drug debate on GMB.”
While another added: “I don’t blame him, when Mike Tyson asks you to do something… you do it!”
Talking about the experience, Piers penned for the Mail on Sunday: “I picked up one of the remaining splits on the table, looked at Tyson and said: ‘When in Rome, champ… got a light?’
“He exploded with laughter as he passed me a lighter and carried on roaring as I lit up the joint and took a long – legal! – puff.”

He explained he also got given a goody-bag of gifts of the “leaf variety” from Mike.
As he shared his thoughts of the debate, he revealed he believes cannabis is less dangerous than alcohol or cigarettes.
Piers has since joked about debating whether to smoke a joint every morning before GMB, admitting the drug might “calm him down a bit”.
