A contestant of a popular Afghan talent contest TV show Salam Maftoon looks a lot like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his fans and followers are surprised at the resemblance.
Several pictures of Salam Maftoon have gone viral on social media since he started contesting for the title in the talent quest TV show ‘Afghan Star’.
His fans and followers call him ‘Salam Trudeau’ and ‘Afghan Trudeau’ while several others have suggested that the singer would look exactly like the Canadian Prime Minister if his traditional hat is removed and dressed in formal suit.
Some other social media users have commented regarding the resemblance of the two individuals with surprise, stating that ‘They are not sure whether Justin Trudeau is from Afghanistan or Salam Maftoon is from Canada’ while others have said that Afghanistan is home to several look-alikes of famous individuals.
Salam Maftoon is a local traditional singer from northeastern Badakhshan province of Afghanistan and is the student of folkloric signer Mir Maftoon of Badakhshan.
He is not the only individual to gain popularity in social media for his resemblance but several other individuals have also gained fame for their resemblance to famous world figures, including Abbas Alizada.
Abbas Alizada is an Afghan Mixed Martial Arts artist who looks alot like the former Hong Kong and American film actor Lee Jun-fan.
His popularity in the media has helped him to play in several foreign movies and has even found his way into Hollywood where he will play a role in the American movie regarding the former actor.
Castro must have banged that guy’s mom too.
U beat me to it..lol
Oh, no. Don't do that. Justin's Trudeau's game is to dress up in other people's costumes. Salam looks more like Trudeau just by wearing his own clothes. It would only be better if Salam went all-out in traditional Afghan costume and went around greeting folks as Trudeau in an outrageous French-Canadian accent.
I wonder if the CIA knows for sure?
Did Margaret Trudeau make any trips to Afghanistan?
I’m just impressed that they finally have TV in Afghanistan.
Most cave dwellers have a TV, but probably little/no reception. Those test patterns are a way of life. LOL.
Afghanistan talent quest TV show?
Kabul Has Talent. Who wouldda thunk the man boy capital of the world likes to sing when they aren’t engaging in man boy fun.
Time for a Manchurian Candidate. Couldn’t be worse.
Actually, their favorite TV game/ reality/ hidden camera/ situation comedy show is “Beat the Clock.”
“Castro must have banged that guy’s mom too.”
Good one! That one makes my day. Now, to go out and find a ventilator.
Justin Castreau
Poor guy.
You need one. You’re laughing so hard...haha.
I practice by filling my lungs up with a fireplace bellows then exhaling into a hot water bottle until it bursts.
I have a buddy who has been locked down in New Rochelle outside NYC. I told him I was sending him a 6 foot measuring tape for Christmas so he can go outside. He said by that time he would need a ventilator and asked me if I could put one in his Christmas stocking. lol Maybe the bellows will do.
LOL!
Oh. I thought he’d be a black guy.
