All the times David Muir has caused a stir with his dashing looks as he addresses ‘daddy status’

David Muir has become one of the most recognizable faces on ABC over the past decade, and in that time, he has fallen victim to his fair share of ‘daddy’ accusations

David Muir has been called vain several times during his career

It’s no secret that David ‘Daddy’ Muir has left a fair share of his viewers hot under the collar at times, and in light of him recently addressing those “internet daddy” allegations, we have decided to look back at all the times his looks have got people talking.

The 51-year-old hunk joined the ABC network’s news team in 2003 as anchor of the overnight news program World News Now. He has since made his way up the ranks to become the host of the country’s top-rated primetime news show, World News Tonight with David Muir, and it appears he has no plans to slow down anytime soon.

Aside from giving his thousands of followers an occasional insight into his private life, David also takes his fans with him as he embarks on lavish world travels, as he gets down and dirty reporting on hard-hitting news stories.

But as fans will know by now, the TV icon is partial to wearing the teeniest top or even altering his attire to show off his incredible physique while reporting on these stories, much to viewers’ dismay.

David has been dubbed an ‘internet daddy’ by fans

During the report, which was being aired live on air, David stood in front of rubble, with thick smoke lingering in the air. He was certainly dressed to the occasion, rocking a yellow ABC-themed fire-resistant jacket as he updated viewers on the dire situation.

All appeared normal until David turned around, revealing he had used several large wooden pegs to cinch his jacket in

“As you can see here behind me,” he said, gesturing behind him while the clamps could be seen on the back of his jacket.

Fans were quick to blast David and “pathetic” and “narcissistic” for doing so – but others pointed out that this could be a common TV trick.

According to the New York Post, using clothes pegs to cinch clothes is a standard style practice in TV broadcasts.

Texas floods: ‘Teeny-tiny t-shirt’

The 51-year-old swapped the studio for the chilling scenes in Texas, as people there continued to search for survivors in the aftermath of the flash floods that had wreaked havoc through the southern state and claimed the lives of many.

Aside from a change of scenery, David also had a change of attire. Instead of donning his usual clean-cut blazer, tie, and button-up shirt, he wore an extremely fitted black tee—a choice that has sent fans into a tizzy.

Under a video shared of the ABC segment to Instagram, fans were quick to swoon over David’s huge muscles that were very visible thanks to his extra-fitted tee.
