Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that “Inception” actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt inspired him to publicly call himself a feminist.
Trudeau told the crowd on Wednesday at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s Goalkeepers event, “I saw a video in 2014 of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, saying ‘Yeah, I’m a feminist’ . . . It wasn’t that, ‘Oh, I’m going to follow his lead.’ It was like, ‘Oh, OK, it’s OK for men to say that they are feminists in a public sense. Great, I’m going to finally do that.”
