Eikon has managed to scrape together a little list showing the top 7 reasons to love Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
7. He’s a Fighter
In 2012, Justin Trudeau brawled his way to victory over Canadian Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau in a charity boxing match.
6. He sports a tattoo
Justin is potentially the first Canadian Prime Minister with a tattoo, originally a small depiction of Earth, which he had done when he was 23, Justin has since surrounded this with a raven drawn into the style of the Pacific Northwestern Haida peoples.
5. He scrubs up well
Before becoming a lawmaker Justin has tried his hand at several professions including teaching, engineering, bungee-jump coaching and environmental geography. After all that he still scrubs up pretty good.
4. He strips … for charity
Justin raised $1,900 performing a partial striptease at a charity event in 2011. He stripped to his white tank top to raise money for liver disease research at the What a Girl Wants gala.
3. He makes winter seem a little warmer
The Canadian PM knows how to work a scarf in the colder months.
2. He was attacked for being ‘too good looking’
Haters gonna hate … Justin’s opposition used slogans such as “Not A Model PM” during his campaign, possibly implying that he could just be a pretty face.
1. He goes to pride
Justin attends Pride parades “whenever possible” and is also the first Canadian Prime Minister to have marched in one. He has also vowed to appoint more LGBTI people to government.
