Sir Kenneth Branagh's Boris Johnson transformation took three hours "a day". The 61-year-old star looks uncannily like the former British Prime Minister in Sky's political drama 'This Sceptred Isle'.

However, it took a lot of work to get him to resemble him, with Branagh having to don a suit to bulk him up and a number of prosthetics.

He told heat magazine: "It took about three hours each day to get into a suit that bulked me up and then to wear various prosthetics. "One was like a neck piece balaclava, and a lot of time was spent making sure the pieces were blended seamlessly into my own skin so you couldn't see the join. " One of them was a "bigger upper lip", which made it impossible for Branagh to eat.

He even had his eyes sloped like 58-year-old Boris. Branagh added: "Then we had to pull down the eyelids to have the sort of slight slope that is a Johnsonian family trait - followed by a hairpiece, and a bigger upper lip . . .
