About 5,000 primary and intermediate school students were surveyed as part of the Cool Our Schools campaign in New Zealand. One of the questions was “Which famous person do you think is coolest?”

As it turns out, a majority of students think Prime Minister John Key is almost as cool as pop star Justin Bieber.

The top two names given were Bieber’s and Key’s, reports the New Zealand Herald—and almost half the students said Key is cooler than Bieber.

The survey was conducted by dairy product manufacturer, Meadow Fresh.
