Justin Trudeau posted a picture of himself with his daughter as they attended a screening of Oppenheimer just days after he was ridiculed for a photo with his son after seeing Barbie. 

The Canadian prime minister, 51, posed with Ella-Grace, 14, in front of an IMAX poster for the thriller at the movie theatre. 

He shared the photo on his social media pages on Tuesday night and said he was balancing things out after he watched the Barbie movie with his son Xavier, 15, on Sunday.

Trudeau posted a picture of the pair in pink outfits with the caption ‘we’re team Barbie’ and he was mocked. 

The politician announced he split from their mother Sophie Grégoire Trudeau on August 2. The couple were married for over 18 years and share three kids together: Xavier, Ella-Grace and Hadrien, nine.

Trudeau wore a black long-sleeve t-shirt, blue jeans and a grey hat for the occasion. While his daughter sported a white zip-up hoodie, an orange top and brown camouflage sweatpants.

‘Balancing things out: “Oppenheimer” with Ella,’ he wrote alongside the post. 

Users on X poked fun at Trudeau for asking for privacy following his split before posting pictures with his family. 

‘I would like privacy at this time, but first, lemme take a selfie,’ one person wrote. 

‘Justin Trudeau: I need space through this difficult time in my life. Also Justin Trudeau: Take a look at everything I am doing as I post it to Twitter. I can’t with these people,’ another added. 

While a third joked: ‘Don’t things balance themselves? Like budgets?’ 

Trudeau was referencing the fact he had recently watched Barbie with Xavier.

The pair were seen beaming in front of a Barbie poster at the cinema, with the Canadian premier donning a neon hoodie for their movie night while Xavier wore a fuchsia t-shirt.

The picture was captioned ‘We’re Team Barbie’, in an apparent reference to the ‘Barbenheimer’ trend – which has seen blockbusters Barbie and Oppenheimer pitted against each other at box offices.

But users on social media mocked Trudeau for his post on Sunday.

‘So glad I’m not Canadian,’ English broadcaster Piers Morgan wrote on Twitter. 

‘The cringe I just cringed,’ another user wrote.

‘Wait, this guy is leading a country?’ one person commented. 

Barbie stars Margot Robbie as the famous doll and has just surpassed the $1billion takings mark, making its director, Greta Gerwig, the first solo female director to achieve this.

Prominent themes in the movie include patriarchy and toxic masculinity – something Gregoire has been outspoken about in relation to raising her sons.

She told Narcity in March: ‘I think that if we don’t talk about the toxic masculinity and principles and cultures that our boys are living in, we won’t be able to address the true root causes of the problem that girls and women face in our society.’

Trudeau and Gregoire have split up but the couple has said they will remain a close family and continue to share parental responsibilities.

In a statement released on Wednesday in English and French, Trudeau wrote: ‘Hi everyone, Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate.

‘As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build.

‘For the well-being of our children, we ask that you respect our and their privacy. Thank you.’

Trudeau’s office also released a statement to confirm they had reached a legal agreement and that the pair will remain amicable, holidaying together soon with their three children.

Sophie has moved out of the family home to another residence in Ottawa, a spokesman said.

‘They have worked to ensure that all legal and ethical steps with regards to their decision to separate have been taken, and will continue to do so moving forward.

Canada’s Globe and Mail reports that the pair will share custody of their three children.

Trudeau will remain at Rideau Cottage with the children, but Sophie has already moved to a different property in Ottawa.

She will visit Rideau Cottage to be with the children and will stay there whenever Trudeau is traveling.

‘They remain a close family and Sophie and the Prime Minister are focused on raising their kids in a safe, loving and collaborative environment.

‘The family will be together on vacation, beginning next week,’ a statement read
