People claim to have found the "lost twin" of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and he would be from Afghanistan! An Afghan wedding singer, who stormed social media after his appearance on the "Afghan Star" show, was considered the son of the Canadian prime minister.
Abdul Salam Maftoon, a singer from a remote village in northeastern Badakhshan province, grew in notoriety for his strange resemblance to Trudeau. Maftoon is often seen in traditional Afghan attire and people are constantly commenting on their similarities.
Watch the video below:
On many videos posted by Tolo TV's Afghan Star YouTube channel, many were stunned to see this striking resemblance. Many Afghans and Canadians have posted images comparing the two online.

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.
