New York-born Johnson, 55, is the front runner to become Britain's next prime minister. He is a direct descendant of King George II.
He passed through many of the hallowed corridors of the British establishment, including Eton College and Oxford University.
Johnson gave up his U.S. citizenship in 2016 amid a tax probe.
Prior to getting into politics, Johnson was a journalist. He started as a reporter for the Times (of London) but was fired for fabricating a quote. He later edited The Spectator, a longstanding political magazine. His speeches are often laced with allusions to classical civilizations, ribald innuendo and are never far from controversy.
"She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital," he said of Hilary Clinton in 2007.
