While rumors have been circulating for months, the Katy Perry confirmed her relationship with the former prime minister of Canada Justin Trudeau this week when the pair were caught on camera kissing on the pop star’s boat off the coast of Santa Barbara, California.

But Justin Trudeau is not the first in the family (nor the only politician) to be charmed by the glamor of Hollywood. In fact he is the apple that fell from the tree as his father, Pierre, dated a number of celebrities.

Pierre Trudeau was Canada’s favorite Prime Minister from 1968 to 1984.

As the Daily Mail reveals, the “charming Pierre has had relationships with at least 2 Hollywood actors.

In fact, before marrying his wife Margaret and being a bachelor when he was elected Prime Minister, Pierre dated actresses Barbra Streisand and Kim Cattrall!

The relationship with Barbra Streisand

The couple soon broke up due to age difference but Pierre and Barbara remained friends until the end

Pierre Trudeau’s romantic relationship with Barbra Streisand began at the end of his decade 1960when the Canadian prime minister was already 50 and the actress was 27 – which Streisand herself later said was the reason their relationship didn’t work out.

In her memoir, titled “My Name is Barbara,” the star describes her her first meeting with Pierre in 1968 at the premiere of her movie “Funny Girl”.

She then admitted how she had told a friend: “That’s the type of man I’d like to date”, before meeting him again the following year.

Barbra Streisand states in the book: “Trudeau was very elegant, intelligent, intense… sort of a combination of Albert Einstein and Napoleon (only taller). And he did an important job. I was dazzled. He was so elegant, yet completely unassuming and perpetually curious… an adventurer who had traveled to the Middle East and Asia as a young man.”

After dating for a short time, the star was ‘scared of the tension’ and admitted: ‘But for me, something was missing. My brain was in love, but not my body.”

The two remained friends until his death in 2000, after which she stated: “The world lost a great leader and I lost a great friend».

The relationship with Kim Cattrall

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall is believed to have had an affair with former prime minister Pierre Trudeau in 1981.

“She was so incredibly sexy. He was very gentle, incredibly intelligent, sensitive“, the actress once said.

In 2016, CBS was forced to issue an embarrassing apology after confusing the actress with Margaret Trudeau, the mother of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

During Justin’s 60 Minutes appearance, as the host was talking about Margaret, a 1981 photo of the Sex and the City star with Pierre Trudeau was shown.
