It's been nearly two months since Justin Trudeau's government was elected and he became prime minister of Canada, and approximately 3 years since a full day went by without his name making headlines somewhere in the world.

Googledatashows that longbefore he assumed office, internationalmedia outlets had theireyes on Canada'sboxing,swishy-haired, famouslysurnamed politician.

And now that he's leading the country, they can't seem to get enough of him particularly atU.S.fashion and entertainment publications.

Just weeks after includingTrudeauin its list of "10 unconventional alternatives to the sexiest man alive" (and hours after New York Times Magazine publisheda profileon the new Canadian prime minister)Vogue hasreleased the online version of anupcoming print piece about our "youthful, optimistic" leader.

"A fit six feet two, the onetime actor greets me at his office door and no desk guy leads us to the sofa to chat,"writes Vogue film criticJohn Powersof his meeting withTrudeau."He's loosened and turned up his sleeves but not, alas, quite high enough to reveal the huge tattoo on his left arm: aHaidatribal raven that he got on his40thbirthday (it encircles an older tattoo of the Earth, which dates to his 20s)."

While the roughly 2,000-word profile contains lots ofinformation aboutTrudeau'spolitical career,familyhistory and Canada's recent federal election, much of it focuses on the prime minister's personal life most notably, his relationship with wifeSophieGrgoire-Trudeau.

The headline-making image of Trudeau and Grgoire Trudeau that appeared in Vogue Magazine in January 2016.

One image of the couple, shot by Montreal-born photographer Norman Jean Roy, was revealed on Vogue.comwhen the online version of thepiece went live Wednesday.

Its caption reads:"Trudeau'swife,SophieGrgoire-Trudeau(in an Oscar de laRentadress), says of their first date, 'At the end of dinner he said, 'I'm 31 years old, and I've been waiting for you for 31 years.'"

Grgoire-Trudeaualso told Vogue that after the dinner described above, "We both cried like babies."

Of everything included in the article, it's the single photoof the PM and his wifewho was dubbed"the hottest first lady in the world" by the New York Post in October that seems to be resonating most among Canadians on Twitter.

Some, arepraisingthe photo as "romantic" andonce againusing it as evidence of how "hot" Canada's new leader is.

Others are less enthusiasticabout the image.

Most of those taking note of thearticle, however, seem to find the sight of Canada's prime minister in Vogue magazine surreal. And incredibly funny.

Several Twitter users also called Vogue out for referring to Canada's Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould as "Native American" in the profile on Wednesday morning.

The magazine hadupdated its online version of the piece by mid-afternoon and issued the following correction:

"An earlierversion of this story identified Canada's justice minister and attorney generalJodyWilson-Raybouldas 'Native American.'The correct language, as noted above, is 'Canadian aboriginal.'"
