During World War I, Johnson's paternal grandfather and great-aunt were recognised as British subjects and took their grandmother's maiden name of Johnson. In reference to his cosmopolitan ancestry, Johnson has described himself as a "one-man melting pot"—with a combination of Muslims, Jews, and Christians comprising his great-grandparentage. His father's maternal grandmother, Marie Louise de Pfeffel, was a descendant of Prince Paul of Württemberg through his relationship with a German actress. Through Prince Paul, Johnson is a descendant of King George II and, through George's great-great-great grandfather James I/VI, a descendant of all of the previous British royal houses. Johnson is an 8th cousin of David Cameron.

And here's a group he might like to join:

London Belly Dance - Male belly dancers

I remembered he had quite mixed ancestry as i saw it on "Who do you think you are?" the other year when i was over...(good programme I enjoyed the few episodes i saw)

I think he may just have a little too much belly for that dancing group but no doubt he'd love dressing up in the costumes -he does love "Pfeffeling" about
