Justin Trudeau has joined in on Katy Perry’s “left shark” meme for Halloween.
The former prime minister of Canada took inspiration from Perry’s infamous 2015 Super Bowl halftime show, where one of her shark backup dancers appeared not to know the correct routine.
Hadrien Trudeau, Justin’s 11-year-old son, also got in on the act, and dressed as a bloodied surfer.
“Ready for Halloween with Hadrien: he’s the surfer, I’m the shark (to his left),” he captioned the social media post. “We built the costume together —a little father-son Halloween teamwork.”
Fans were quick to spot the reference to the “Roar” singer, as one person commented with a GIF from her performance and “left shark” underneath the photo.
The post came one week after the pair had taken their relationship public after being spotted kissing on the pop star’s yacht last month.
The two were filmed leaving the famous Le Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris on Perry’s birthday. In footage shared by TMZ, they exited the venue hand in hand, with Perry wearing a bold red dress, while the politician sported a casual dark suit.
Outside, paparazzi serenaded the singer with “Happy Birthday” as a fan handed her a single red rose.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in July after they were seen dining together at a restaurant in Montreal.
The following night, Trudeau was spotted in the crowd at Perry’s Lifetime Tour concert in the city with his teenage daughter.
In photos obtained by multiple outlets earlier this month, the pair could be seen kissing and embracing on the singer’s yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California.
Two days later, Perry alluded to the romance while performing at London’s O2 arena, telling the crowd: “London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school? No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time… but not anymore.”
Perry later received an engagement proposal from a fan on stage, to which she replied: “I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago.”
Perry announced her split from British actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares five-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, on July 4.
Trudeau, meanwhile, announced his separation from his wife of 18 years, former model and TV host Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, in August 2023. They were married in 2005 and share three children, Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.
