Canada’s Prime Minister and part-time made-for-meme internet sensation supplied the internet with its latest viral Trudeau moment on Monday. The leader was just jogging along the Seafront of Stanley Park in Vancouver, when a group of teens captured the high-profile runner in their prom photo. Eventually, Trudeau even got in on the promgoers’ celebration for a batch of photos that went viral. > [](https://twitter.com/AdamScotti/status/865734843870568448) But the running photo wasn’t just any Trudeau image. In fact, it proved it could endure, when the epic photobomb posted to social media became the subject of a [Photoshop battle on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/photoshopbattles/comments/6crvyl/psbattle%5Fjustin%5Ftrudeau%5Fwaving%5Fto%5Fpromgoers/?st=j31y2fn4&sh=d234b1e7). Obsessed social media users let their imaginations run wild editing his high-performing body in all manner of situations from signature sneakers to _La La Land_\-ing with Emma Stone. Maybe he just wanted to greet some supporters and get some exercise in without becoming sensational on the internet? Tall order, Trudeau.
