Justin Trudeau's Shark Costume Has Fans Convinced He's Paying Tribute to Katy Perry

Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomed a unique father-son costume moment just in time for Halloween 2025, with his 11-year-old son Hadrien dressed as a wounded surfer and Trudeau himself in a blue shark suit. What might have been a simple bit of festive fun quickly turned into social‑media fodder when followers began drawing a connection to pop icon Katy Perry, linking the shark costume to her memorable "Left Shark" backup dancer during her 2015 Super Bowl halftime Show. Given Trudeau and Perry’s recent public appearances and their rumored romantic relationship, the timing is questionable.

Trudeau shared on Instagram a photo of himself in a bright blue shark suit beside his 11‑year‑old son Hadrien in a blood‑splattered surfer outfit complete with a gnawed surfboard. His caption read, "Ready for Halloween with Hadrien: he's the surfer, I'm the shark (to his left). We built the costume together—a little father son Halloween teamwork."

The shark motif and the subtle phrase "to his left" reminded many fans of Perry's 2015 Super Bowl halftime performance, in which one of her backup dancers, nicknamed "Left Shark," went viral for his unchoreographed antics. While Trudeau did not explicitly mention Perry, fans were quick to interpret the ensemble as a playful nod to her performance and, by extension, to their emerging romance. As one comment put it: "He's in love with her, Katy Perry won in life."

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's Public Appearances

Trudeau and Perry's romance began stirring headlines in July 2025 when the singer was seen dining with Trudeau in Montreal during her 'Lifetimes Tour.' Later, they were seen kissing and lounging together on Perry’s yacht off the coast of California, capturing their chemistry. On 25th October, the couple made their first official public appearance at Paris's famed Crazy Horse Paris cabaret for Perry's 41st birthday: she glowed in a bold red satin dress, he opted for an all‑black suit, and they left the venue hand in hand.

Sources close to the pair say despite busy schedules, they have a tight bond based on their shared love of humour, travel, and parenthood; Trudeau is currently working on post-political projects, while Perry is on a world tour. The shark costume, then, appears not simply as a festive costume but as a sweet and witty tribute to Perry's moment in pop culture—and a sign that Trudeau is happily diving into this "left shark" chapter.
