In one publicized incident, Brassard, thinly disguised as a television reporter, encountered former Canadian prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau at the 1993 Montreal Film Festival. After Brassard asked a series of absurd questions, Trudeau ripped off Brassard's fake beard, slapped the prankster in the face, and aimed a kick at his groin.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name=brassard-trudeau>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
