Dangling helplessly from a zip-wire while waving British Union Jack flags, Boris...

“It’s going well ... Get me a ladder,” the portly then-London Mayor jovially shouted as the crowds below laughed along after he became stuck. Johnson, 55, has made a point of turning run-of-the-mill publicity events into a comedic adventure thanks to a large helping of upper-class English eccentricity, a trait that has made him popular with many Britons who see him as the antithesis of drab political rivals.

Whether it is kissing fish in a visit to Essex in eastern England or knocking a 10-year-old boy flying during an impromptu game of rugby during a trip to Japan in 2015, Johnson’s antics and undiplomatic behavior have tended merely to enhance his reputation.
