Redeem now - A viral video of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau giving a press conference appeared to show his left eyebrow "falling off."
- Twitter users ran wild with the theory and made lots of jokes, including a parody account.
- However, it looks like the "falling off" was an optical illusion created by poor lighting.

Several people pointed out that his brows are naturally thicker and darker on the bottom and get thinner and lighter toward the top. That combined with harsh, unflattering studio lights created the optical illusion of an eyebrow "falling off" his face.
