In pressing news, it seems as though every single person from Canada is related. Earlier this week, Justin Bieber took to Instagram to share his newfound knowledge that he is related to Oscar-winning actor Ryan Gosling and punk princess Avril Lavigne.
The relationship between the three celebrities is very convoluted, but Bieber insists that it’s real. From what we gather; Justin Bieber’s 11th great-grandparents are Gosling’s 10th great grandparents, whilst Avril Lavigne’s family is related to Bieber’s third cousin nine times removed.
“This is the best day of my life,” Bieber wrote. “Just found out that I’m related to both Ryan Gosling and Avril Lavigne.”
“It seems super legit it’s on ancestry.com”
