I wonder how long he practiced for this ?

He’s not right is he?
What on earth is he doing? Pretending to be a bear?

FannyCornforth Sat 06-Aug-22 07:00:00

It appears that it’s his signature moves…

Looks like he is having fun a bit of dad dancing as his son is also present
Would probably get the same from my DH to that track of music

FannyCornforth Sat 06-Aug-22 07:16:29

It’s also reminiscent of this

How embarrassing

Riverwalk Sat 06-Aug-22 07:25:04

All part of his 'affable' image - it's no accident the video clip is now online for all to see.

Iam64 Sat 06-Aug-22 07:57:39

What Riverwalk said ?

This clip is part of his love me I’m such a good fun guy, but of a maverick, ordinary dad

GrannyGravy13 Sat 06-Aug-22 07:57:57

They look very happy

nanna8 Sat 06-Aug-22 08:09:45

I actually think that makes him look quite fun. Happy man. He just can’t win, can he ?

Joseanne Sat 06-Aug-22 08:11:54

My funny DH looks a bit like that when dancing with the DGC. I doubt if Boris cares anymore.
I like Carrie's dress.

Let's face it - no matter what Boris does some people will find a way to denigrate him for it - I imagine if it were revealed he had donated a kidney some would be saying they feel sorry for the person who now carried part of Boris around!

As Johnson would be far more likely to be carrying around someone else's kidney rather than give away anything of his own I think your scenario is hardly worth considering, Beckett ?

If it was Starmer doing the Dad moves some on here would be in raptures. ?

eazybee Sat 06-Aug-22 09:39:52

If you are going to insult someone. at least take the trouble to spell it correctly.
The verb is 'practised.'

henetha Sat 06-Aug-22 09:43:54

I'm no fan of Boris, but cut him some slack now he's going.
Sometimes it's just plain mean.

Callistemon21 Sat 06-Aug-22 09:47:14

I think it looks fun - was this at their wedding party?
He looks no worse than many who attempt 'Dad Dancing'

Of course, one day, when Wilfred is a teenager, this clip will embarrass him enormously! ?

Chestnut Sat 06-Aug-22 09:51:22

Sorry, but I don't laugh at anyone for the way they dance. It's a personal expression of enjoyment and we can't all be Patrick Swayze.

Zoejory Sat 06-Aug-22 09:53:39

Oh that's just lovely. He dances just like my much missed grandfather. Thanks so much for posting this.

Oh yes, Carrie is no fool, nothing gets on Twitter “by accident” - especially the cute appearance of Wilf towards the end
All together “Aaawww” ???

DIL and I watched Dirty Dancing again recently ?

Zoejory Sat 06-Aug-22 09:58:10

I think I must be the only person on the planet who hasn't watched Dirty Dancing. Obviously seen clips, heard the music but that's it. Maybe one day.

merlotgran Sat 06-Aug-22 09:58:48

Never mind Boris. Who on earth booked that terrible singer?

FannyCornforth Sat 06-Aug-22 10:03:39

It was their wedding dance though.
It wasn’t as if he just spontaneously got to his feet at a party and started to goofily boogie around.
It’s a bit odd that they didn’t touch each other or dance together.
He doesn’t take anything seriously.
I feel a bit sorry for Carrie really
