TONIGHT, YOUNG BRENDAN Murray did his country proud with his performance of Dying To Try at the Eurovision Song Contest.

To us, he’s just a young lad from Galway. To international observers, however, he’s a dead ringer for Justin Trudeau.

A young Justin Trudeau, mind.

He’s the talk of Eurovision viewers everywhere.

I was as surprised as anyone when Justin Trudeau combined his DNA with Shawn Mendes, but he's doing a great job for Ireland in #Eurovision pic.twitter.com/lYxGjkTSzf

At least if this music thing doesn’t work out, he can pursue a career in Canadian politics.

G’wan Brendan!
