TORONTO 鈥� Justin Trudeau is swinging by the "werkroom" on an upcoming spinoff of "Canada's Drag Race."
Producers of the drag queen competition series say the Prime Minister will make a special appearance on "Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs. the World."
He's the first world leader to visit the RuPaul-founded competition series, which has more than a dozen global spinoffs in countries including Sweden, Australia, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
An image from the set showed Trudeau beside Toronto drag queen and host Brooke Lynn Hytes in a segment where the contestants receive inspiring words before the episode's main challenge.
