Boris Johnson, known for his signature blonde bouffant, has been caught in an unfortunate moment that revealed his receding hairline. The former British Prime Minister was photographed during a visit to Australia today, where a gust of wind exposed a more vulnerable side of his famously unruly hairstyle.
Johnson, currently on an Australian book tour promoting his memoir Unleashed, was at the Royal Automobile Club of Australia in Circular Quay when the incident occurred. The picture quickly circulated on social media, highlighting the difference between Johnson’s trademark mop and his more natural hairline.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Johnson deliberately tousles his hair as part of a personal political strategy. According to an ally, the ex-politician’s unkempt hairstyle is a conscious choice. “He’s a barber’s nightmare. The second he leaves the chair, he runs his hands through it and messes it up,” the source explained.
This deliberate disarray has a purpose. Johnson, who was educated at Eton, has long used his messy hair to project an image of the “scruffily loveable English libertarian,” distancing himself from his aristocratic background. He has remained unapologetic about his unconventional look, which he believes helps him connect with a broader electorate.
In 2014, Johnson humorously deflected questions about his hair care routine when asked about his grooming habits in an interview with The Guardian. “I’m now so short-sighted, I’m blind!” he joked. “I could have put acne cream or toothpaste on my hair by mistake that day. I honestly couldn’t see, but it seemed to work.”
Johnson’s distinctive hairstyle has continued to make headlines, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, while serving as Prime Minister, Johnson was quizzed about his hair while visiting Greater Manchester. A reporter, speaking on behalf of his mother, asked, “Your hair is all over the place, and my mother wants to know why.” Johnson responded with characteristic humor, saying, “It’s something to do with my hair, but I can tell you I do brush it.” He ended the exchange with a lighthearted message, saying, “Please give your mother my very best for a very happy Christmas.”
Despite today’s hair mishap, Boris Johnson’s signature style remains a key part of his public persona, whether by design or accident.
