I would be lying if I didn't think image is a big reason why Trudeau got picked. They want the party to appeal to younger generations. It's part of the political game. They took a guy with some desirable base qualities that they knew they could groom,. After all, leaders are made not born.
I also think they got tired of putting their A-Team candidates through the CPC attack ad shredder and went with the guy that could be snappier and more charismatic. You can't blame them after the CPC successfully destroyed the last two. Dion may have been the best leader the Liberals had in a generation, but he lacks charisma.
Trudeau seems to let criticisms slide right off him and I think that is one of the things that drives his competitors nuts.
