Justin Trudeau ‘hops like a rabbit’ to promote Katy Perry’s new song

Former Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau has been brutally roasted online for ‘hopping like a rabbit’ in a bizarre new video promoting his girlfriend, Katy Perry’s new song.

Perry, 41, took to Instagram on Thursday to share a clip of her and some pals dancing to her latest hit Watch It Burn, which dropped on June 25.

The singer, who donned a polka-dotted red romper and thigh-high socks, jumped up and down to the beat with her friends as she mouthed along to the lyrics.

At one point, her boyfriend Trudeau, 54, dressed in khaki pants and a green T-shirt, joined in on the fun and was seen hopping around in the background.

‘Ancient texts say that if you hop to this song you will get 1,000 years of good luck,’ Perry captioned the video.

It quickly went viral and was reshared all over X, as many people poked fun at Trudeau for his dance moves.

‘Former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is promoting Katy Perry’s new song… by hopping like a rabbit. 2026 is wild,’ one user wrote.

‘Bro forgot he was once [prime minister] of a nation,’ joked another. ‘[Oh] how a relationship changes a man, it’s insane.’

‘Disgraceful that Trudeau is doing this! He is [13] years her senior,’ slammed someone else.

‘The concept of the ex prime minister of the second biggest country in the world doing a Katy Perry TikTok challenge,’ read a fourth post.

A fifth said: ‘How unserious is Canada as a country? This man was their Prime Minister, and he’s now a background character in a Katy Perry video.’

It comes weeks after Perry shared some rare insight into her relationship with Trudeau during an appearance on the Unfamous podcast. 

‘I have love in my life now that’s transformed me,’ she gushed. ‘You think that when The Beatles say “all you need is love” it’s a cliche, but cliches are cliches for a reason.’

Perry also said that therapy and transcendental meditation have also helped her following her ‘tough year,’ which saw her nine-year relationship to Orlando Bloom come to an end.

The Roar songstress made her red carpet debut with the politician at the New York City premiere of the Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour concert film on June 8. 

And she couldn’t help but gush over their romance and the stability Trudeau has brought to her life at the event.

‘I am very in love. Actually, that show was after I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that,’ Perry told People. 

‘I’m a little bit like a rainbow kite. I fly super high and like, touch the veil, cosmos and sometimes I need to be anchored. So, to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now.

‘Every day is a fantastic journey, and every day is a chance to evolve, and to be a better person and do the right thing and to be a model for your community, for your family, for your world.

‘I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life,’ she added.

Perry and Bloom confirmed that they had called off their engagement in June 2025. 

One month later, she was spotted grabbing dinner with Trudeau. They went Instagram official in December and have not been shy about flaunting their love ever since.
