Prime Minister Boris Johnson Traces His Family History | Who Do You Think You Are

[lrmwharf]

Who’s watching this after he has become Prime Minister?

[D.e.p.z]

The absolute ramble when his dad answers the door 🤣🤣🤣

[myfragilelilac]

His father could literally be his twin- brother.

[bouncinbetty]

"grandaddy and granny butter"


That is the most upper-class English thing I have ever heard lmao

[howardhamlin]

It sounds like Boris is talking to himself when he is with his dad 😂

[conormcguinness]

Ah, the common Johnson greeting “ayiaiaiaiyughai hello”

[Abzman]

Borris left the house with a bike. How the hell does Borris end up in a car the next second.

[deuk]

Boris being part Turkish made me laugh (being a Cypriot descendant) I now Call him Bariş johnsün

[karenimran]

He’s just like his father . My goodness.

[stargazerlse]

cant stop laughing at the alsace/alsatian explanation "they weren't dogs"

[techgeek]

"My ancestors were Alsatation. I mean, they were from Alsace, they weren't dogs" lol

[kungfuwolf]

This is actually way more interesting than I thought it would be

[nancyhobson]

I have a part Turkish son in law. He's a very hard worker and I respect him enormously

[nuzayerov]

Boris's ancestor also served as the Grand Visier of the Ottoman Empire.
The position of the Grand Visier is like that of a Prime Minister, second to the Sultan.

[mickavellian]

No one notices the father and son look like twins? THAT is good DNA there

[cemo]

Englishman : organized rebellions against the Ottomans from outside
Turks: send a Turk inside England and let him take over power 😂

[MohamedHassan-xeoe]

That’s quite a sad story. His (great grandfathers) mother died after giving birth to him and his father abandoned him. I can see why he never liked talking about the family’s past.

[camleep]

I don’t know how to feel about the fact that all of relatives look like various versions of him with different wigs and occasionally, a dress

[minarose]

I love how he runs up the steps to his dad’s house lmao

[hannibalemezin]

He is a "Turkish Lawrence". His real name is BARIŞ CANSIN.
