The thespian actor, 60, bore an absolutely uncanny likeness to the Prime Minister as he strolled through set with his head down, and a mop of blonde hair on his head. Thanks to prosthetics and make-up, Branagh was remarkably spot on with everything, even Johnson’s forward leaning walk. His new stolen look is all part of new drama This Sceptred Isle , which is currently filming in Worcestershire, recreating a real visit from Johnson back in March last year. The five-part series will track Johnson and the Government’s efforts during the first months of the coronavirus pandemic, and how he led the country through the uncertain times. This will include the efforts surrounding the NHS, the daily news briefings held to maintain updates, and the successes as well as the failings to contain the virus.

The first trailer has been released for Sir Kenneth Branagh ’s upcoming drama about Boris Johnson ’s leadership during the outbreak of the pandemic, and his impersonation is striking to say the least. Two years after the start of the pandemic, many of us would prefer not to watch a series that will remind us of a time when we had to lock down indoors, keep our distance from loved ones and only head outside for a law-abiding stretch of exercise. However, the new teaser for This England (previously titled This Sceptred Isle) might change some people’s minds, as Sir Kenneth completely disappears as he takes on the role of portraying the Prime Minister.

This is the incredible moment the Australian prime minister wiped out a tiny child on a football pitch. Taking inspiration from Boris Johnson , who ran over a Japanese child while London Mayor, Scott Morrison was caught on camera bulldozing through the boy during a ‘friendly’ game. Looking a bit enthusiastic, with his eyes firmly on the ball, he collided with Luca Fauvette and landed right on top of him. Morrison quickly rolled over and checked on the little boy, who did not suffer any injuries, before the pair exchanged awkward high-fives. ‘Where’s Luca?’ Morrison said after the game. ‘Hope he’s not in hospital! I look forward to coming back on another occasion.’ The PM then pledged $3.5million for Devonport FC’s new stadium and joked with parents about the clash. ‘I think that when that grandstand comes down, I hear it might need a bit of a bulldozer to knock it down, so I might be able to help with that,’ he said.
