has never been shy about his sense of humor, and a new red carpet moment is proving exactly why fans love him so much.

The Schitt’s Creek co-creator and star was caught by Variety at The Gothams, one of the entertainment industry’s most celebrated awards ceremonies recognizing independent film and television. When the conversation turned to , Levy did not hold back, and his answer was as self-aware as anything David Rose ever delivered on screen.

Dan Levy Rules Out a Love Island Appearance in the Most Dan Levy Way Possible

Levy was candid about his chances on the hit reality dating series, joking that he’d “probably get kicked off for being boring.” When pressed on his love life in general, he kept things appropriately vague: “We’ll see how the love life goes.”

It is a response that is perfectly on-brand for Levy, who has always carried the same dry, understated wit off-screen that made David Rose one of the most beloved sitcom characters of the past decade. Schitt’s Creek ran for six seasons on CBC and later found a massive global audience on Netflix, with Levy earning Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Award wins for his performance.

Love Island, for its part, is currently in the middle of another buzzy season. The show has become one of the most talked-about reality franchises in the world, with its US version on Peacock consistently generating headlines and social media conversation throughout each cycle. It is, by design, anything but boring.

Levy has kept a relatively lower profile since Schitt’s Creek wrapped in 2020, though he has stayed active with projects including the 2022 film The Bubble, a memorable hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, and the latest Netflix cringe comedy series Big Mistakes. He has also been open in interviews about the pressures of following up on one of television’s most beloved comedies.

For now, it sounds like Levy is keeping his romantic life off-camera and his reality TV career firmly in the realm of imagination.

Love Island USA Season 8 is currently airing on Peacock.
