However, Maftoon told AFP that he had no idea who Trudeau was until everyone started saying "Salam Trudeau" or calling him "Afghan Trudeau".
"I did not know anything about Justin Trudeau until I saw the pictures on social media. The resemblance has increased my chances of winning the competition by 50%, "said Maftoon, adding that many do not even remember his real name anymore.
The singer is currently among the top eight in the competition and hopes to not only win the competition with his new popularity, but also to meet the Canadian Prime Minister.
"I want to meet him, if he wishes, because he is a global personality and I am a poor man from a remote part of Afghanistan," said Maftoon.
