Social media is responding fervently after discovering some eye-catching pictures of a young Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada. People are comparing him to a Disney prince and to Richard Gere, and some are just honestly posting photos of a shirtless Trudeau and completely melting down over it.

Now, first I believe it is fair play to share a bit of Trudeau's career history and accomplishments that are just as attractive as many people think he is before spending the rest of the article focusing entirely on his looks during his youth.

Trudeau became Canada's 23rd prime minister in 2015. He is known for his progressive views and policies and is particularly popular among millennials. During his time in office, Trudeau has already accomplished several significant feats. He actively sought to create a diverse and gender-balanced Cabinet with 15 men and 15 women. His cabinet members include members of many minority groups, including "a refugee, immigrants, Sikhs, Muslims, people with disabilities, and members of the aboriginal community."

He has championed a highly progressive transgender rights bill and openly welcomed war-fleeing Syrian refugees to Canada, in stark contrast to the Trump administration. Furthermore, Trudeau has publicly called himself a "feminist," presumably earning the respect of legions of women and also helping contribute to perpetuating feminism as a political norm.

Of course, in addition to all of his accomplishments and commendable qualities, Twitter has now also discovered that Trudeau happens to have been quite striking in his youth (as he is now, of course). So, here are the pictures of a young Justin Trudeau being shared by Twitter users worldwide.
