Boris does exaggerate the buffoon image - the blustering manner with unfinished sentences gives him thinking time and enables him to avoid answering awkward questions - it suits his purpose.
His mannerisms often gain him popularity and forgiveness for behaviour that a more serious and less personally engaging person would not get away with - although when you’ve been taken in by his seemingly earnest assurances, then been betrayed by his lack of personal integrity, his mannerisms are much less engaging.
I used to know Boris in his University days and he was clever and brilliant but lazy and unreliable - and always had the ability to make you believe he was on your side - and make a convincing argument for two opposing viewpoints.
I think this article is a good summary of the enigma that is Boris.
