veryone continues to rave about how charming Justin Trudeau is as a prime minister. He’s a feminist, a yogi, loves kids, grills barbecues while wearing a barong, and even has a bubble butt. Best of all, he handled Pres. Donald Trump’s ridiculous handshake.

Just when you thought you’ve run out of reasons to love him, netizens were able to dig up photos from his younger years.

Let’s talk about this for a bit. While Trudeau’s looks didn’t change much from then to now, this is also a little peek at who he was before becoming prime minister. With that, picked up a few new things we learned about him based on these photos.

Hair transformation

Aside from his sharp features, Trudeau is known for his dark curly hair. Like the rest of us, his hair went through a few transformations—from a short haircut to a Jon Snow-like ‘do.

He has an arm tattoo

Underneath his many suits is this big tattoo on his left arm. We can’t see what exactly it is, but it looks like a cross between a sun and a crab. Either way, it looks really cool, prime minister.

He can knock you out

If you noticed Trudeau’s boxing stance in the previous photo, it’s because he really does box. He even knocked out a conservative senator in a charity boxing match in 2012. Talk about literally knocking you off your feet.

Accessory of choice: a necklace

We noticed that Trudeau has a liking for pendants and beaded necklaces. We wonder if he still wears one to work every day.

Has a resemblance to young Richard Gere

Props to these netizens for being so observant. He does resemble Richard Gere back in the day. Even the shoulder muscles match!

Step aside, Joe Biden

Remember young Joe Biden? Last year, people freaked out over the former US vice-president’s old photos. But now that Trudeau’s photos are out there, he might just have some friendly competition.
