There are a number of famous faces that seven-year-old boys might hope to be told they look like, but we reckon Boris Johnson might not be topping many children's lists.
However, one schoolboy has been told so many times by his mum that his long blonde hair made him look like the 'offspring' of the Prime Minister that he couldn't take it any longer.
George-Henry Denton has spent the last eight months growing out his locks so he could have a 'man bun'.
But after mum Karly, 33, made yet another comparison to Boris because of his bedhead, George-Henry snapped and decided to hack off his fringe with a pair of craft scissors.

The incident occurred while Karly was in the bath and following the at-home haircut, George-Henry proudly marched into the bathroom to show off his new look.
Business development manager Karly was left in stitches over the cut.
Karly, from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, said: "I've said he looked like Boris for months. While it was going through the growing stage it didn't really lay properly, it just stuck out.
"I kept telling him he looked like the offspring of Boris Johnson. He kept telling me off. My mum said he looked like Worzel Gummidge, with either one he wasn't impressed.
"I showed him Boris and he said he doesn't look like that but I told him he really does. When he's just got out of bed and his hair sticks out so much, it's so funny."
She continued: "It kept falling down in his face and it was annoying him. I'd said in the morning that now it's at a nice length and it had gone through the awkward stage to where it actually looks nice, we could go and get it trimmed and tidied up.
"The scissors he used were out of a craft set that he had in the toy room. I went for a bath and sent them to play. I could hear them playing hide and seek and thought they were fine.
"He walked into the bathroom and was playing with his hair at the front. And he said 'mum the front bit has gone' and moved his hand and I just said 'oh my God, what have you done?'.
"I couldn't stop laughing. I thought wow. He was gutted. He said he'd taken the front bit off I told him he'd cut loads off but he wasn't panicking.
"I asked if he'd seen it and he hadn't so I showed it to him in the mirror and he started crying. He was in genuine shock that it didn't look good.
"He'd held the hair and asked his six-year-old brother to cut it for him and he did. They don't normally do anything stupid."
George-Henry still hopes to grow his hair out so Karly is trying to salvage the dodgy cut by waxing the left-over fringe down while they wait.
Karly posted a snap of George-Henry's new do on Facebook where it quickly went viral, racking up more than 5,000 comments and likes.
She added: "A lot of people were mostly saying this has made their day or dying laughing. A lot of others posted pictures of their own kids cutting their hair. I think they all do it at some point."
Social media users flooded the post with photos of their own children's dodgy haircuts.
One fellow parent said: "Oh bless him, he certainly knows his own mind. What a character. I hope you’re writing all his little adventures down. It’d be great to remind him in the future when his mini-me is pulling a few stunts too."
Another wrote: "Well.. at least he did it to his own hair! When my daughter was younger.. we had a neighbour's lad round to play..I popped to the loo... came back down and said where's he gone my daughter said he went back home...
"Five mins later door knocks with said lad and his dad...and the boy missing a big chunk of hair... at the front yep my daughter had cut it! little S*D! I was so embarrassed and apologetic JEEZ I ONLY WENT FOR A WEE! luckily being a hairdresser I was able to sort it!! free of charge!"
