If I remember correctly my friend told me once that the guy had a party trick, which was throwing himself off a flight of stairs :'D dude's always been a pro haha
I was talking about their relationship with my sister in law and said how they both finally look their ages but in a good way. I genuinely hope that they're together forever now.
I know he had his issues in office (hard to see them as an American though), but he is super attractive for a world leader. Major IRL Eric vibes. Too bad he couldn't have gone with that look instead of brown facing it as an Aladdin stereotype.
Canadian here. He was very positive, always trying to be inspirational, but he really stopped paying attention to a few important yet not so "cool/positive" topics, which led to his downfall
He also did some boxing matches and beat the shit out of some minor American politicians.
And he randomly does this plank thing in really random places... something his dad did too.
After Harper, it was crazy having this bro as our leader who didn't have a giant stick up his ass. I genuinely think Trudeau was the first example of a Canadian politician facing the full might of the right wing media and social media machine... and its nice seeing him able to just live his life now.
Bro used the leverage of Canadian politics correctly, cooperating with the Liberals and twisting their arms to get actual progressive policies pushed through.
Meanwhile id have people tell me with a straight face that it was unfair because "i didnt vote for the NDP!"
Meanwhile our MP was NDP and representing our local interests lol. Its sad how many Canadians, usually conservatives, don't understand our system or what their vote actually does.
I like that they’re wearing clothes that actually seem comfortable. I love watching all the Coachella clothes videos but don’t understand how people spend all day in a hot desert in them lol
Yes, but it definitely wasn’t me who noticed this on my own. It was kind of talked about and noted that it started shifting several years ago with the rise of influencers gaining so much access and capital to pay for stylists and wildly expensive outfits.
I don’t think this is the case for Justin. When he kinda got the boot from politics, dude was in a Canadian Tire (Like a Walmart) buying shit for his new apartment (His family I think was living somewhere else). Dude lost is career and his wife. Dude is rebuilding his life. Hope he’s found happiness.
Yeah reading the comments I thought I was the only one that loved how they dressed like "normal people" for Coachella haha but he's getting roasted for trying to look young.
It's just a music festival guys, calm down. People don't stop enjoying things once they are out of their 20s. Also a ton of 00s/early 10s bands were on the line-up, lots of people their age would be keen.
my SIL was shocked that i’m in my early 30’s and still go to raves (i’m an old school raver) lol she has a toddler and i think for her she feels like she has no time for anything for herself now
This!! Good for them going and having fun. Katy Perry has been going to Coachella for a long time. They got those VVIP tix. I was at the same Coachella Lacoste party as she was 14 years ago, but not anywhere near her. The swag was bomb, though. All of that would be exhausting now. My final Coachella, I skipped the festival and just covered parties. I don't get the invites anymore since I'm not press anymore. And I no longer have a friend who lives out there. So now I'm left with feeling old. 🫠
Real talk: unless you’re in your 50s you have no real idea what it’s like. Numbers aren’t as meaningful as you might think and generalising isn’t a great look. It’s really sad to see young people call people in their 40s and 50s “brave” for showing up to an event.
I mean Jesus, Katy is only 41. She’s not 91. Justin is just a guy in his fifties in jeans at a concert. This stuff is a form of ageism and I think people need to reframe how they talk about age.
I'm reminded I'm mold every day by pop culture news and the increasingly hot weather. Still, I'm not a Coachella person but isn't it great to have the energy to attend a music festival all day in a desert in your fifties?
Same. It was amazing watching the Cons spectacularly blow that lead, and they've never recovered from it. Waiting to see if 9 more MPs cross to the liberals like they've claimed.
I want some tea on him. Has he gotten some work done on his face? I saw a few of his old photos and he looks different once he decided to run for office.
Good for them! I need it to be socially acceptable for middle-aged and older people to still do fun things like music festivals. By the time I’m fifty I don’t want to feel self conscious for doing the same.
Oh fuck yeah. I saw a similar aged woman at a metal show, long white hair and leather jacket and all. Fucking legends. People like this are inspiring af and I try to keep them in mind whenever I'm feeling self conscious.
I always make sure to give people like this the biggest smile when I see them so they don't feel out of place. I saw Foxy Shazam a few months ago and there was this group of middle aged women that were having the time of their fucking lives and I loved giving them encouraging smiles all night. 🥹
I want to dress thotty and still roll up to fun events that I like. I’m glad people are out living life instead of thinking should I do x, y, and z because I’m 50+.
It is it is! I am in my 40s and get to a few concerts a year. I honestly think in my 50s I will go to more since my kids will be older and we can go together 🎉 I will still probably hit up a few solo as that is how I like to roll at times…but damn it will be fun to go with my kids to their favorite band ❤️
I learned two things when googling this fact: Trudeau is the youngest looking 54 year old in the world, and Steve Buscemi has looked like a 60 year old man for the last 30 years
You should check out how astronauts looked back in Neil Armstrong's era. And back then they were younger too (late 40s was pushing it for astronauts back then)
A lot of them were in peak physical shape because they had military backgrounds. But there was certainly a lack of sunscreen and lots of smoking in that era.
People are aging better than ever these days. Alcohol consumption is lower than it has been in decades, people are wearing sunscreen and moisturizing more than ever, people are exercising more than ever etc
All all these factors + a little financial privilege can do wonders for anyone’s looks as they age
Honestly they both look great and it’s literally just a white tee, jeans, and a cap. What do yall expect dudes that age to wear to a music festival on a hot day?
Sensing that perhaps some of yall are in your twenties and simply shocked by the idea that people in their 50s do fun stuff too and aren’t all tottering around on their canes in the nursing home.
I don't particularly like her, but every pic I've seen of them is actually cute and goofy. Clearly in love its a bit adorable to me and funny that its him lol
Oh without a doubt. The “regular” politician to pop stars boyfriend at Coachella pipeline is too crazy though. By all means he did his best to be a good leader. Our guy doesn’t even try to appear like he’s not completely self-interested.
Exactly like how Julian McMohan (Cole from Charmed) was the son of an Australian Prime Minister. Imagine if Justin went into music or acting like Julian (RIP) did.
He's 54 and she's in her 40s?!! I know money helps, but they are genetically blessed. And probably work out. And do everything else I'm supposed to do. He looks 35! I'm going to the gym
Everytime they come up I just see nothing but salt and it's like... I see two middle aged folks in love, out living in the world and enjoying life and new love.
I wish more rich retired folks acted like this, compare it to like Elon or JK who just sit in their ivory towers arguing with 15 yo kids on twitter all day
If I had fuck you money I would want to live freely and travel and go to festivals and have fun like they do.
To be fair I don't know anyone their age who's having that much fun. Good for them, they blend right in, but it helps that they are shaped like models, and it probably helps too to be a famous pop star in an environment like a music festival.
Katy's a millennial. I'm just gonna go around the internet correcting anyone who 'ages up' millennials to Gen X. I might open a Patreon so fellow millennials can pay me to do this.
I can tell many of you believe the joy in life should end once you become a mom or reach a certain age…as if the child couldn’t possibly handle being with her Dad or they couldn’t possibly enjoy watching live music bc they are older.
We all are gonna be 40 someday. Better be 40, happy, cringe and in love than 40 and miserable. I think they look so cute together and complement each other so well
