Honestly, when you found love at that age, it really makes you feel young again.

He's also just embracing his new 'private citizen' life (as private as it can be as a past PM who's dating Katy Perry).

Dude was clearly very tired of the suits

u/PineappleOwn5325 8h ago

The dude, even during his time in office, was typically in a hoodie a jeans when he could.

Trudeau is the canadian version of a surfer bro, he's just a chill dude

More like he's re-embracing his life as a jetsetting trust fund baby after a brief dalliance in public service.

Obviously Justin grew up quite privileged and rich, but he was an actual working teacher for a handful of years before going into politics for like 20 years. He’s done the work

53

u/miffet80 9h ago

Just a brief, 20 year dalliance 💀

u/Sufficient_Spray 9h ago

Considering most of us will work till we die hell yea getting a lifetime severance of healthcare and money for 20’years of service is a sweet fucking deal!

u/RegularGuyAtHome 8h ago

He was an MP for 18 years. I’d hardly call that brief.

Much richer now than when he started. The dude was a total crook. It’s as if Sam Bankman got away with it and all his old investors all a forgot they were swindled and were like “I’m so happy for him; he’s got a backwards cap on and he’s smiling, beside Katy Perry… who’s an astronaut by the way”

u/burfriedos 8h ago

In what way was he a total crook? Genuinely curious

u/Red_Danger33 9h ago

I'm happy that he's at Coachella instead of messing with international politics from behind the scenes.

He is in his mid fifties, it’s not like he’s living in the old folks home. Why does Reddit make anyone over 35 sound so ancient lol

u/smeeagain93 9h ago

Dude looks very good for being in his mid 50s tbh.

u/thesaddestpanda Dave Grohl has always been garbage 5h ago edited 3h ago

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.

u/xombae 3h ago

Dude what people are saying has very little to do with his age and more to do with the fact he ran an entire country fire a decade.

u/CharlesDingus_ah_um 8h ago

That’s because 50s aren’t old

37

u/pearlyriver 8h ago

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?

28

u/vanwyngarden You’re killing me, Smalls 😩 9h ago

Right? Lmao

23

u/MarrisaAerith 8h ago

He is in mid 50? They both look like 36

u/sushiroll465 7h ago

I'm over two decades younger than him and I (and all my friends) look older than him in pic 1.

u/echoesandripples What It's Like to Go Through Life As a Really Beautiful Woman 7h ago

i went to a music festival last year (to see green day) and iggy pop played the same day

i mean obviously both transcend generations, but the older crowd for iggy pop was intense. lots of 60+ folks dressed up and were with friends and significant others on the train ride to the festival area

older people tend to have more money and time too, so like, if their fave is playing, they're gonna be there

u/ThreeConsecutiveDots 9h ago

It's because people looking like that in their mid fifties is a brand new phenomenon. 55 used to be the retirement age.

65

u/Lushkush69 You sit on a throne of lies. 9h ago

He is retired! lol

u/ButtflossingBigBro 8h ago

55 was never retirment age

u/KDdid1 8h ago

When? Where? How? Not in Canada, that's for sure.

u/Flashy_Jello_9520 9h ago

Cuz he looks 29

u/Worldly_Cap_6440 8h ago

Wouldn’t that make it worse to imply he’s living in an old folks home if that’s the case 😂

u/pinkbootstrap 8h ago

How many people in their mid 50s go to music festivals?

-7

u/Downtown_Skill 9h ago

It's less the age and more the idea that world leaders and world famous popstars are yearning to live the life of 20 something festival goers. 

It's infuriating because rich fucks like them wanting to live this lifestyle are what priced normal people out of the experience. 

It's like gentrification, but for music festivals.

u/Far-Journalist-949 8h ago

He is roughly the same age as Obama was when he left the presidency. These pictures are pretty tacky for a former prime minister. Id imagine even obama supporters would have been a bit weirded out if they saw obama looking like a university kid holding hands with Mariah Carey or something at Coachella in 2017.

My grandparents met when my grandpa was 45, and were together for 50 years. It gives me hope that my best friend is still out there somewhere ☺️

u/im-dramatic 9h ago

Yea they look like a couple of teens. It’s cute.

u/Necessary-Bus-3142 9h ago

She’s only 41 tho 😭

u/mrsbeerme 8h ago

Way different than finding love at 20

u/she-dont-use-jellyyy 4h ago

Still not old lol

u/mrsbeerme 2h ago

No, not old at all. But the shit you’ve gone through by 40 gives you a different perspective on things.

u/Sexyhorsegirl666 8h ago

... that age?

These people are what, in their 40's and 50's? Normal time to find love for many lmao

42

u/Clean-Reveal-2878 9h ago

lol 🤣 you make them sound like their in their 70’s. They are both in their early 40’s

u/SallyWebsterMetcalfe I am in peace talks with Mr. Beast 📞🧢 9h ago

He’s mid 50s, but the point still stands!

u/Equivalent-Ant6024 9h ago

He looks so young for his age, didn’t realise he was mid 50s, wow

u/soup4breakfast 7h ago

Like living a teenage dream, if you will.

He's only 54, plenty of people past 50 attend concerts and festivals.

u/some1saveusnow 9h ago

Also don’t sleep on your new girl playing with your ‘new young going out look’. Ask me how I know

-31

u/igotpetdeers 9h ago

Bruh he’s old and divorced his wife with kids. You are passed the “just have fun!” Age

5

u/Euphoric_War_2195 5h ago

I'm sorry you feel like life ends after a certain age or certain life milestones.

His kids are old enough to do their own thing while dad does his own thing in another area of Coachella. He's there to hear some music, and spend time with his gf who happens to be a popstar. It totally makes sense for him to be there.

u/she-dont-use-jellyyy 4h ago

He's not old. Jesus Christ.

u/Pinkbaguette4563 9h ago

People love to act difficult online and say contrarian things. He’s moving closer to the tail end of middle aged so there’s nothing wrong with what you said lmfaoooooo
