Does Justin Trudeau's wax figure look like him? You be the judge




Many people on social media are calling for the museum in Montreal where the wax figure is on display to melt it down and start over again. What do you say?


The unveiling of Justin Trudeau’s wax figure has upset people of the internet — who claim it looks more like the actor Sean Penn than the prime minister.

The Montreal Grevin Museum revealed its newest statue last week as fans lined up to take selfies with an “imposter” Trudeau.

While his tailored blue suit, outfitted with a maple leaf pin on the lapel, and bright red Canadian flag socks may have accurately resembled the prime minister for some, it was his stance and facial expression that made the figure the subject of ridicule on Twitter.

I think it looks pretty good.

I’m not one of the heart-throbber folks on this site, but I think he looks fine.

The way the eyes and mouth are set.. I can see it.

Trudeau has a youthful and hopeful look about him and I think that's why people like him. He also doesn't act like an asshole which used to be a given for our world leaders, lol. Not so much now..

The figure looks like Trudeau after 10 years of putting up with Trump trying to scam him imo.

The wax piece has none of the Trudeau sparkle.

Meh. They could have done better.

Even wax museums never get them right, it's just pretty much impossible because of how insanely complex the human facial structure is. Especially since human brains are specifically wired to recognize faces in a way where we can instantly recognize even the slightest differences.

But then it's hard to capture someone's likeness in wax
