Justin Trudeau runs past group of prom goers, stops for the ultimate selfie
A group of Canadian teenagers got the surprise of their lives while celebrating their prom on Friday when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau jogged past them and then stopped for a selfie.
Trudeau was jogging around the Stanley Park Seawall in Vancouver, British Columbia when he stumbled upon a group of teens dressed up for prom. Adam Scotti -- Trudeau's official photographer -- captured the moment he ran past the group and posted a series of images in an Instagram gallery. "I always love to watch people's faces as they realise who just ran past, often several paces after he has passed," wrote Scotti on Instagram.

Thankfully, it looks like the teens caught Trudeau just in time. They managed to get a selfie with the prime minister, and their prom photographer shared the shot on Instagram.
That'll be one for the photo album.
