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’.

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.

What’s WRONG with some people?! That Afghan fellow DOESN’T look ANYTHING likeTrudeau!! His nose is narrower with sharper nostril creases, his eyes are shaped differently and his mouth, shape of his face, jaw, chin….LITERALLY EVERYTHING is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!! Only his eyebrows and hair are similar.
Your looking at the picture need to realise they were taken when the guy was breathing in that’s why his nose looks like it’s sucked in but if you look at a few pictures he looks spitting image mate!
[…] to Afghanistan’s Khaama Press, Maftoon is a folk singer and a music student, hailing from the northeastern Badakhshan province […]
This is really Awesome Look Like Wow
Wow! Yes – great look alike of Canada’s Justin Tudeau.
