U.S. President Barack Obama may call the British Prime Minister his “bro” but follows the wrong David Cameron, a computer game lover, on Twitter.

Mr. Obama follows 645,000 people on Twitter and by contrast David Cameron follows 382 people, including the U.S. President.

Instead of following @david_cameron, the British Prime Minister’s official personal account, ‘Organising For Action’ which runs Mr. Obama’s account has been watching the tweets of @davidcameron, who lives in Oregon and tweets about Star Trek, Telegraph reported.

Earlier this month Mr. Obama hailed Mr. Cameron, saying: “Put simply, David is a great friend and outstanding partner.

“He’s one of my closest and most trusted partners in the world. On many of the most pressing challenges that we face, we see the world the same way.”

But it seems that Mr. Obama’s affection for his “bro” David Cameron does not extend to social media, the report said.
