Former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau is entering a new chapter after politics, with a move into film and entertainment.
Trudeau recently appeared on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival, drawing attention alongside filmmakers, actors, producers and other entertainment figures from around the world.
His appearance came after he announced the launch of a media and entertainment production company, Hope and Hard Work.
Through the venture, Trudeau plans to produce film and entertainment content and work with people in the creative arts sector.
Trudeau gained global recognition during his years as prime minister, when politics, diplomacy and statecraft dominated his public life.
His appearance at the film festival has fuelled speculation about his future role in the entertainment industry. However, it remains unclear whether he will take part in filmmaking beyond production or pursue other creative roles.
For now, Trudeau appears set to explore a new career path away from politics and towards the world of film and entertainment.
