Justin Trudeau's father Pierre Trudeau was the Prime Minister of Canada at that time. "That was not the reason why we beat him up. He was the only kid in school we could beat up", he confessed to the host. The actor also said there was no Secret Service protecting the future Prime Minister at school. The host Jimmy Kimmel warned him his actions wouldn't have the same consequences in United States if he beat up Barron Trump.
"I am not bragging. I was a stupid kid", he admitted. The actor joked about the incident being instrumental in Mr Trudeau's success and eventually becoming the Prime Minister. "I think he said I'm going to rise above this and I'm going to become the Prime Minister", he said.
The revelation caught everyone's attention on social media. "My favorite person beat up our favorite person", said Pavithra Joshi on Facebook.
"Can't deal with this revelation. Trudeau is literally the nicest guy. Damn you Chandler!", said Monica Yadav on Twitter
That's one hell of a story, Chandler!
