Trudeau was spotted on a casual run in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he accidentally crashed a prom photo shoot that some local cool teens were having on the Seafront of Stanley Park, which caused no shortage of excitement from his young constituents. This isn’t the first time that the charismatic prime minister has had a civilian encounter that’s made for a photo opp — in the past, he’s been spotted [hiking shirtless in the woods](https://twitter.com/Ptbo%5FCanada/status/758252788392431616?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref%5Furl=http%3A%2F%2Fnymag.com%2Fthecut%2F2016%2F08%2Fjustin-trudeau-shirtless-hiking.html "undefined") and [photobombing a wedding on the beach](https://www.facebook.com/marniereckerphotography/posts/10154420344716468:0 "undefined").
