Johnson admits mop of hair dyed blond
Print Edition
IT is the most famous mop in British politics — but former London Mayor Boris Johnson has admitted to coloring his blond hair in an interview published yesterday.
The leading campaigner for Britain to leave the European Union gave the secret away in a comments to the Sunday Times.
“This is the real thing,” the paper quoted Johnson as saying. “It’s all natural.”
But when asked whether he dyed it, the 51-year-old added: “Yes.”
Johnson’s shaggy, unruly hair has helped make him one of Britain’s most recognizable and popular politicians, along with his bumbling manner and love of witty sound bites.
The Conservative lawmaker split with Prime Minister David Cameron by announcing in February that he would campaign for Britain to leave the EU in the June 23 referendum.
He is one of the favorites to succeed Cameron if the prime minister steps down following the vote, which looks like being a close fight between “Leave” and “Remain.”
A Sunday Times/YouGov poll last week found that 20 percent of those surveyed wanted Johnson to take over from Cameron.
It put him well ahead of his nearest rival, Home Secretary Theresa May, who’s on 8 percent.
