    ah Boris..

    Boris was born in Manhattan, New York City, New York, to British parents

    One of Boris’s paternal great-grandfathers was Turkish, and one of Boris’s maternal great-grandfathers was Jewish. The rest of his ancestry is English, Swiss-German, German, Irish, and French

    That's the one. His paternal grandfather was born Osman Kemal - and his great-grandfather Ali Kemal Bey, was killed during the Turkish War of Independence for his anti-nationalist sympathies - something Boris seems to have inherited.

    Over to you.
