Lenny Henry has poked fun at the Canadian Prime Minister’s “brownface” scandal, introducing himself at an event by introducing himself on stage as Justin Trudeau.
Trudeau found himself in hot water after a yearbook photograph surfaced showing him in “brownface” make-up at an Arabian Nights costume party in 2001.
Henry, 61, could not resist having a little dig about the incident when he appeared at a Royal Television Society event.
The Metro reported that the comedian was due to speak about diversity in the industry at the event.
"Nice to see you. I am Justin Trudeau. I'll be answering your questions any minute now," he said, to laughs.
