Boris Johnson produces hilariously awkward Harry Kane goal celebration

BoJo and his bizarre display of celebration

Boris Johnson may be the PM, but put him in front of a camera, and he looks like a fish out of water… no more so, it seems, than when celebrating a goal.

Yes, even the Prime Minister watches the Euros, and was clearly delighted as Kane sealed a 2-0 win for England over Germany on Tuesday night, even if it did look distinctly like a man who has never celebrated a goal in his life.

As Kane approaches the box, Johnson edges forward, and a grin appears on his face. Then, as the ball hits the back of the net, a victorious rumble is heard alongside Johnson’s hands erupting into the air. For once, Boris and the country are unified in celebration.

Twitter has been creasing about his reaction, which in retrospect maybe should not have been shared on social media. A simple “It’s coming home” would have sufficed. As Sajid Javid scrambles to put an end to the pandemic, our PM is frolicking in the gazebo with his flailing limbs and cheesy grin.

 

One thing is for certain; we now know what his reaction to Hancock’s CCTV footage was like.
