Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wore “brownface” at a private school gala nearly two decades ago, a photo obtained by Time Magazine suggests.
Zita Astravas, spokeswoman for Mr Trudeau’s Liberal Party, confirmed in Time’s report he was in the image.
The 2001 yearbook picture apparently shows Mr Trudeau with skin-darkening make-up on his face and hands at the West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver.
The prime minister is battling for re-election on 21 October.
