Canada’s newly elected Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, is young, blue-eyed, with the looks and build of a model and a bit of the photogenic charm of Obama. Many would sigh when they compare him to our PM, but he actually has a little more in common with Rahul Gandhi – scion of a political family, and supposed to be relatively ‘cooler’ than most politicians.
But while the debate over RaGa’s good looks or coolth has succumbed to the lack of debate about his political acumen (who’s debating anything, really), Trudeau has sent the internet into a frenzy with his non-debatable hotness and many shirtless pictures.
Elected as PM just days back, the Liberal leader, who was up against the now former PM Stephen Harper, won Canada’s general elections with a landslide victory, ending the nine-year-long stint of the Conservative government. This 43-year-old son of the popular former Canadian prime minister, the late Pierre Trudeau, is obviously not just incredibly good looking. The accomplished boxer and family man also seems to be a competent politician, promising to offer “not just a change in government, but a better government”. And Justin has certainly managed to bring back ‘Trudeaumania’, the nickname given to the excitement generated by Pierre Trudeau’s entry into the Canadian political scene back in 1968.
WHAT A BABE
“Tonight we’ll dispense with the formalities. I’d like to toast the future prime minister of Canada: to Justin Pierre Trudeau” – US President Richard Nixon predicting Trudeau’s victory back in 1972 when he was just four months old
He’s also great with babies, and propping them up on his hands is one of his pet moves
PRIME MUSCLES
Trudeau has tried his hand at many jobs including teaching, engineering, bungee-jump coaching and even starring in a 2007 film on a Canadian WWI hero. This photo comes from his turn as a boxer in a 2012 charity match with a senator where he “pounded his foe into submission,” said a paper
THE HOTTEST PM ON THE BLOCK
He even rocked a kurta-pyjama once
WHAT? A STRIPTEASE!
Trudeau raised $1,900 with a partial striptease at a charity event in 2011, in front of a whooping audience. He threw off his suit and tie as frantic bids came in for the chance to have lunch with him and twitter is already cray about him. He even plays rugby! Need we say more? He loves to juggle to entertain watchers at parties.
