Aug. 23 (UPI) — A butter sculpture at the Canadian National Exhibition is drawing attention online for its adorable subject matter: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cuddling panda cubs.
The sculpture, previewed in a photo tweeted by the exhibition’s official Twitter account, is being molded by David Salazar and his team of artists at the Toronto event.
The sculpture is based on a viral photo tweeted by Trudeau last year when he was given the opportunity to share a snuggle with the Toronto Zoo’s giant panda cubs, Jia Panpan and Jia Yueyue.
“What is better than seeing yourself made of butter @JustinTrudeau!” the CNE tweeted.
Salazar said his team of artists will be working on the Trudeau sculpture as well as more than a dozen others depicting animals that rose to viral fame, including the infamous Ikea monkey.
“It’s pretty funny working with butter. It’s a little surreal,” Salazar told the Toronto Star.
