Justin Trudeau seemed to dive deep into pop culture inspiration this Halloween.
The former Canadian prime minister, 53, surprised fans with a clever costume choice — a bright blue shark suit — that immediately reminded many of Katy Perry’s unforgettable 2015 Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show.
During that performance, Perry was joined by dancers in shark costumes, including Bryan Gaw, who went viral as “Left Shark” for his unusual moves.
Although Perry, 41, was not featured in Trudeau’s Halloween photos, the politician proudly shared his festive look on Instagram with his son Hadrien.
Trudeau, who shares children Hadrien, 11, Ella-Grace, 16, and Xavier, 18, with estranged wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, posed with his arm around his son, who was dressed all in black and had fake blood streaming down his face.
The duo took their father-son project to the next level by creating a surfboard accessory, complete with fake blood splatter and a missing bite mark.
Trudeau captioned the post: “Ready for Halloween with Hadrien: he’s the surfer, I’m the shark (to his left). We built the costume together – a little father-son Halloween teamwork.”
The shark’s vibrant blue hue quickly caught fans’ attention, with many pointing out its resemblance to Perry’s halftime show dancers.
One fan joked: “I’ll dress up as Katy Perry and then you and I can pretend we’re together!” while another joked: ‘TO HIS LEFT’, nodding to the ‘Left Shark’ meme.
Trudeau and Perry, who were first spotted together at Montreal’s Le Violon in July 2025, recently made their relationship public during a night out at Crazy Horse Paris to celebrate Perry’s birthday.
