Canadian Prime Minister has grabbed a lot of attention lately. His visit to the United States was one of the most anticipated state affairs of Donald Trump's presidency so far. But Trudeau has been groomed for success since a young age due to his father also being the prime minister of Canada.

During a recent appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Friends” star Matthew Perry revealed that he was a classmate of Trudeau’s. Perry also admitted that he and a friend “beat up” the leader, stating, “I think he was excelling in a sport that we weren’t, so it was pure jealousy.” He continued, “I think he was the only kid in school that we could beat up.”

On Saturday morning, Trudeau responded, writing, "I've been giving it some thought, and you know what, who hasn't wanted to punch Chandler? How about a rematch @MatthewPerry?"

Trudeau's jab is a reference to Perry's "Friends" character, a nervous New Yorker, who struggles his way through the daily grind.

In his interview, Perry joked, “I think it was rather instrumental. ... I think he said, ‘I’m going to rise above this, and I’m going to become prime minister.'”
