Justin Trudeau’s Halloween shark costume has sparked plenty of buzz on social media, with fans speculating that it’s a playful nod to his new girlfriend, pop star Katy Perry.
The former Canadian Prime Minister shared a photo on Instagram on Friday, showing off his blue inflatable shark costume alongside his youngest son, Hadrian, 11, who was dressed as a wounded surfer. Trudeau, 53, captioned the post: “Ready for Halloween with Hadrian: he’s the surfer, I’m the shark (to his left). We built the costume together — a little father-son Halloween teamwork. 🎃🦈🏄♂️”
Fans quickly noted the striking resemblance between Trudeau’s shark outfit and “Left Shark,” the backup dancer who became a viral sensation during Perry’s Super Bowl 49 halftime show in 2015. The dancer gained fame for improvising his own quirky moves while Perry performed her hit “Teenage Dream.”
“TO HIS LEFT 👏👏👏,” one follower playfully commented. Another joked, “I’ll dress up as Katy Perry and then you and I can pretend to be together!” Other fans chimed in saying, “Babe, we all recognize that shark costume,” and “Did you borrow the Left Shark costume?”
Rumors of a romance between Trudeau and Perry first surfaced in July, when the pair were spotted chatting and walking near Mount Royal Park in Montreal. Later, they enjoyed a romantic dinner together at Le Violon, a restaurant in the city. Trudeau was also seen attending Perry’s “Lifetimes” tour stop at Montreal’s Bell Centre, fueling speculation about their connection.
The whispers turned louder in October when photos emerged showing Perry and Trudeau sharing a kiss on her yacht. Perry was seen wearing a swimsuit, while Trudeau appeared shirtless during the intimate moment.
The couple officially went public with their relationship on Perry’s 41st birthday last week. They were photographed holding hands while arriving for a cabaret show at the Crazy Horse in Paris. Perry turned heads in a striking red dress, while Trudeau opted for a sleek monochrome black suit.
Insiders told Page Six last month that Trudeau is completely smitten with the “Roar” singer. “He is crazy about her and thinks she is the perfect woman,” one source revealed. “They are simpatico on everything, including politics, kids, and French food.” The insider added, “They both have a sparkle for each other.”
Katy Perry shares daughter Daisy Dove, 5, with her ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom. Meanwhile, Trudeau is father to three children—Xavier, 18; Ella-Grace, 16; and Hadrian, 11—with his estranged wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau.
