Right-wing Canadian intellectual Jordan Peterson had an emotional response to Olivia Wilde naming him as the inspiration for Chris Pine's villainous character in her new feminist thriller Don't Worry Darling.

During a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Peterson became choked up after being asked if he is indeed a "hero to the incel community," as Wilde described him. "Sure. Why not?" Peterson replied. ("Incel," short for "involuntary celibate," usually refers to isolated young men who resent their inability to find romantic or sexual partners.)
