When Tatiana Doronina and husband Ruslan found out they were expecting a baby, they thought he’d have dark hair like them both.

But their son David is three months old and actually has long floppy blond locks – leading some to compare him to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

His lookalike was mentioned before he’d even left hospital by nurses who helped care for him after he was born on March 1.

Now his parents are stopped in the street by strangers who comment on his looks.

New mum, Tatiana Doronina, said: ‘David is like celebrity. Everyone is literally getting crazy about his look.

‘People make the comparison to Boris the minute they see him.’

David was born weighing 9lbs 10oz and as soon as his parents saw him, they were struck by the amount of hair he had.

Tatiana, 35, added: ‘I thought he was so big but then I saw his hair and said ‘what?’, ‘how can his hair be so light?’

‘It was only after he was washed I realised just how much hair he had.

‘I was so shocked, but every nurse who met him said the same, they couldn’t believe he was so hairy.

‘He is a mini Boris, he looks just like him.’

After the comments in the hospital, dad Ruslan, 43, suggested they called their first son after the Prime Minister, but Tatiana refused.

She said: ‘We didn’t need to call him Boris for people to say he looks just like him, the resemblance is so obvious, it’s scary.’

Instead they chose to name him after St David because he was born on the Welsh patron saint’s day.

Tatiana said: ‘When he arrived overdue, on March 1, we read about the meaning of the day and really liked the name and also how it sounds in Russian too.’

His parents met in the UK and now live in Surrey after a whirlwind romance, with Ruslan proposing three months after they met and their wedding just three months later.

They both have dark hair so weren’t expecting David to be blond – even though Tatiana had actually had a dream about it.

The former model and tv presenter said: ‘I did have a dream that my baby would be blond but I thought that was crazy because we are so dark haired.

‘My husband joked it was a good job he was conceived in lockdown, because he doesn’t look like us.

‘His hair is such a beautiful colour though and he has such long eyelashes.

‘I wish I had his hair, it is an amazing colour and so thick.

‘I was 100% sure he would be dark-haired, I just can’t believe my son is blond.

‘I know his thick, long hair comes from me because my hair was long and thick as a baby too.’

Husband Ruslan, who works in construction added: ‘We could not believe it.

‘We both have asked family to find out where the blond gene may have come from. We are both dark-haired with an olive complexion but David has such fair skin and blue eyes.

‘Nobody on either side of our family has blond hair but my mother was born with blonde hair so maybe he gets it from my side of the family.’

Although his hair is already long at three months old, the new parents have no plan to cut it soon.

She said: ‘I am curious to see just how big it grows but it is already hard to manage.

‘When I wash his hair I try to style it but once it is dry it just sticks up everywhere.

‘For now I have kept his hair completely natural but I think it will need styling and I will blow dry it.

‘I think he will need an extensive hair care regime.

‘It is difficult to manage and I think it has a mind of his own – just like Boris’ hair.

‘Maybe David will be a future PM, you never know.’

Tatiana set up an Instagram to share snaps of David but jokingly added ‘not Boris Johnson’s son’ to the bio.

She said: ‘I don’t mind the Boris comparison, I know people would think it even if we didn’t realise ourselves.

‘I just hope Boris doesn’t mind.

‘I hope his hair makes him stand out, I would like him to join a baby modelling agency and see where this adventure takes us.’
