Canadian Prime Justin Trudeau is already famous for popping up in random tourist locations, and causing normally even-keeled women to teeter on their heels in a cartoon-style romance swoon. He’s charmed everyone from Ivanka Trump to the Duchess of Cambridge, and earned the nickname Prime Minister Steal Your Girl.
When he rolls up those shirtsleeves, women across the world wonder: Is it getting hot in here or is it just global climate change?
Now, it turns out, there are pictures from when Trudeau was a young, strapping lad of 17, and they’re even hotter than what we’ve come to expect—because in these photos, he’s not wearing a shirt.
Face it ladies, he looks like a kid in a teen movie who told the main character’s best friend that wine coolers didn’t actually have alcohol in them just so he could get her to take off her bra, or like the sexy secret vampire who preys on the whole volleyball team in one of those R.L. Stine horror stories.
I was a child of the 1990s. Let’s move on.
I mean, okay, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Justin shirtless. A few years ago, he attempted to attain fame as an amateur boxer.
And he once even photobombed a woman’s wedding wearing nothing but a peeled-down wetsuit.
In fact, Justin Trudeau loves being shirtless. He just loves it. He’s shirtless, like, all the time. If he could be shirtless in meetings of Parliament, he probably would be. Because the only thing Justin Trudeau loves more than random hikes in the country and charming female heads of state, is Justin Trudeau.
But he is, of course, not the only President who likes to do things without a shirt on. In his desire to go topless, Trudeau, of course, has a good friend in Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Here’s Putin fishing shirtless.
Here’s Putin hunting shirtless.
And here he is riding a horse shirtless. And frolicking with dolphins. And here’s his shirtless action figure, which brings to three dimensions that earlier photo of Putin fishing. While shirtless.
In Russia, reportedly, the government sells shirtless calendars featuring the President in a variety of poses. Women, according to accounts from Russian media, swoon in the streets for their half-naked leader.
Politically, Putin and Trudeau share some qualities. They both, for example, prefer some things the way they were in the USSR (for Trudeau, that means more socialist policies; for Putin, it’s the historic practice of indefinite detention in Siberia). But they obviously share some personality traits, too.
Few men in the world love themselves this much.
Whom would the world’s women rather see shirtless? Trudeau is younger, but Putin is more likely to be able to save you from a bear by killing it with his hands. Trudeau seems more romantic, but his gun collection is limited to what’s attached to his upper arms. You know Putin has an entire wing of his Presidential palace devoted just to the semi-automatic variety.
What we do know for sure is that neither intend to supplement their wardrobe anytime soon.
