Toronto native Dan Levy named one of the sexiest men alive and people agree
PEOPLEreleased its much-anticipatedSexiest Man Alive Issue 2020this week, and Schitt's Creek co-creator and Toronto native Dan Levy has been named on the list.
While Levy has long been known asa television personalitythanks to his time as a host on MTV Canada, his level of fame reached new heights this year following the major international success of Schitt's Creek — witha record nine Emmy winsawarded to the show earlier this year.
And now he has another accomplishment to add to the list.
In an interview with the magazine, Levy talked about all the new hobbies he's tried out in the eight months since the pandemic began, including baking, bingeing TV shows and learning how to perfect his favourite cocktail (a cosmopolitan).

One person even came up with a clever term for all the people currently lusting after Levy: Dansexual.
