Here are some of the notable names attending: **Sara Bareilles** The singer-song writer is performing for the guests. **Michael J. Fox** The _Back to the Future_ star is a dual Canada—U.S. citizen. **Lorne Michaels** The famed Saturday Night Live producer was born in Toronto. **Mike Myers** The comedian is another Toronto native. **Ryan Reynolds** The actor is from the other side of the country—Vancouver. **Blake Lively** She’s with Reynolds. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4254874/justin-trudeau-canada-state-dinner-celebrities/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4254874/justin-trudeau-canada-state-dinner-celebrities/"},"headline":"Here Are the Celebrities Attending Justin Trudeau's State Dinner at the White House","datePublished":"2016-03-10T23:41:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:48:58.721Z","description":"It's not just diplomats and senators","url":"https://time.com/4254874/justin-trudeau-canada-state-dinner-celebrities/","keywords":["White House"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt381043e32c53108b/69888a90cf40a87137c425d4/white-house-state-dinner-canada.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt381043e32c53108b/69888a90cf40a87137c425d4/white-house-state-dinner-canada.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Canada State Dinner White House","caption":"Canada State Dinner White House","creditText":"Pool—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4254874/justin-trudeau-canada-state-dinner-celebrities/","name":"Here Are the Celebrities Attending Justin Trudeau's State Dinner at the White House"}}]}] ```
