Abdul Salam Maftoon wants to be a famous singer – but if a career in music doesn’t pan out, he might be able to earn a living as a Justin Trudeau impersonator.
Maftoon is a finalist on Season 14 of Afghan Star, a popular American Idol-like singing competition show broadcast in Afghanistan.
According to the Khaama Press News Agency, photos of Maftoon have gone viral on social media, where fans have dubbed him “Salam Trudeau” and “Afghan Trudeau.”
