MONTREAL – Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry are back in Montreal, dancing in the aisle of a hardware store in a new video posted to social media.
Trudeau’s son Xavier published the video on his Instagram account on Sunday.
In it, the former prime minister is seen wearing sunglasses, jeans and a white t-shirt. He dances with a plunger as his son’s song “Downtown” plays in the store.
“In the Home Hardware on St-Laurent St,” he announces before singing along.
Perry, who seems to be filming, is seen headbanging and jumping.
Xavier Trudeau has been releasing music under the artist name “Xav” since launching a music career last year.
This is not the first time his father is featured in promotional videos for his songs. Trudeau has appeared a number of times on his son’s Instagram, chatting, reacting to video clips, and promoting his music.
Xavier Trudeau also recently posted a video of his mother, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, listening to “Downtown” in the car with him.
“I want to play this in my car right now. Let’s get the roof off right now!” says Grégoire Trudeau in the video.
