'60 Minutes' Justin Trudeau Profile Mixes Up Margaret Trudeau And Kim Cattrall

'60 Minutes' confuses actress Kim Cattrall for the prime minister’s mother, Margaret Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sat down with 60 Minutes on Sunday night for a segment that delved into Trudeau’s political and familial past.

The segment included interviews with Canada’s new prime minister and his wife, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, as well as footage of Justin Trudeau at his father's funeral, at his boxing club and at a winter carnival with his family.

The segment also briefly touched on the highly-publicized marriage of his parents, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau. Only when it came to archival footage, there was a bit of a mix-up. 60 Minutes showed a black-and-white photo from 1981 of the elder Trudeau with former Sex and the City star (and Vancouver native) Kim Cattrall -- whom he famously dated – when talking of Pierre’s relationship with Margaret.

Cattrall took the error in good stride, sending out a tongue-in-cheek tweet saying she "couldn't be more proud" to have a son as the Prime Minister of Canada.

The 60 Minutes profile comes ahead of a big night for Canada's beloved PM — on Thursday, Trudeau will be hanging out with U.S. President Barack Obama as the first Canadian Prime Minister to be honoured with a state dinner at the White House in almost 20 years.
