Before he became Canada’s Prime Minister—and a major player on the global stage—Justin Trudeau was turning heads for a very different reason: his movie-star good looks.

Trudeau’s youthful photos, many of them shirtless and full of laid-back charm, have resurfaced online and reignited the buzz around what many fans have long believed—that he was one of the most handsome politicians in the world. With his tousled hair, chiseled features, and confident smile, it’s no wonder women swooned and men took style notes.

Known for his charisma and love of the spotlight, Trudeau often embraced the fun side of public life. Whether he was dressing up, cracking jokes, or just showing off his more playful side, he knew how to keep people entertained. Though he’s stepped away from politics, fans still look back fondly at those early years that helped shape his larger-than-life image.

And yes, the internet had a field day—joking about Melania or Ivanka Trump’s supposed admiration, spinning Trudeau into a political heartthrob of meme-worthy proportions. Whether fact or fan fiction, one thing’s clear: young Justin Trudeau wasn’t just a future leader—he was a full-blown 90s crush.
