Newly-published video footage shows Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wearing blackface, the third such incident to come to light inside 24 hours.
Canadian TV channel Global News published the video Thursday morning. It shows Trudeau wearing dark makeup on his face and all over his body, raising his hands in the air, and sticking his tongue out.
Global News said it does not know when the video was recorded. However, it said it confirmed with Trudeau's Liberal Party that he is the one pictured.
It was published less than 24 hours after Time magazine published a photo of Trudeau wearing brownface and dressed in a costume for an Arabian Nights-themed party held at the school where he worked in 2001.
Business Insider published a photo from the same event, which was featured in the April 2001 newsletter for the school. The photos showed around 40 other guests, none of whom had brownface on.
In comments to reporters on Wednesday night, Trudeau said of the brownface photo, "I shouldn't have done that. I should have known better but I didn't and I'm really sorry."
He added: "I'm going to be asking Canadians to forgive me for what I did. I shouldn't have done that. I take responsibility for it. It was a dumb thing to do."
When a reporter asked Trudeau if he had ever donned a similarly racist costume, he said that while attending high school, he "dressed up at a talent show and sang 'Day-O' with makeup on."
It is not clear whether the video of Trudeau in blackface uncovered by the Global News is the same one of him singing "Day-O."
The revelations that Trudeau donned racist makeup and costumes comes just weeks before he and his Liberal Party go up for re-election on October 21.
