A baby with a thick, floppy mop of blond hair has taken everyone by surprise—especially his dark-haired parents—due to his striking resemblance to Boris Johnson.
Tatiana Doronina, 35, and her husband Ruslan, 43, expected their child to inherit their dark hair. Instead, their adorable son David, born in the UK, has become a sensation thanks to his unruly, light-colored locks, reminiscent of the former Prime Minister’s signature hairstyle.
Baby with a head full of blond hair resembles Boris Johnson
Now three months old, David often turns heads wherever he goes. Strangers frequently stop his parents on the street to comment on his remarkable hair.
“David is like a little celebrity,” his mother shares. While some instantly compare him to Boris Johnson, others playfully insist, “Respect the baby—he’s much cuter than Boris!”
Weighing 9 lbs 10 oz at birth, David’s parents were not only surprised by his size but also by the color and thickness of his hair. “I couldn’t believe how light it was!” Tatiana recalls. “After he was washed, I realized just how much hair he had.”
Amused by the comparisons, David’s father even suggested naming him after the Prime Minister. However, Tatiana declined, saying, “We didn’t need to name him Boris—everyone could already see the resemblance!” Instead, they named him David, as he was born on St. David’s feast day.
A mystery of genetics
Despite both parents having dark hair, they are unsure where David’s blond locks came from. “No one in our family has blond hair, but my mother was born with fair hair, so maybe that’s where he gets it from,” Tatiana explains.
Managing David’s wild hair has already become a challenge. “It’s so hard to style! When I wash it, I try to smooth it down, but as soon as it dries, it just sticks up everywhere,” she laughs.
For now, his parents have embraced his untamed locks, though Tatiana suspects she may need to start styling and blow-drying it in the future.
To capture his newfound fame, the family created an Instagram account for David with the cheeky bio: “Not Boris Johnson’s son.”
Hoping his unique look will open doors, Tatiana adds, “I’d love to see him try baby modeling and see where this journey takes us.”
One thing’s for sure—whether he resembles Boris or not, baby David is absolutely adorable!
