Dan Levy has hilarious response to fan mourning father Eugene's fake death news

Dan Levy, who co-created the multiple award-winning situational comedy, Schitt's Creek along with his father Eugene Levy, gave a hilarious response to a fan of the show who was under the impression that Eugene Levy has passed away. As one will soon see, Dan Levy responded to the user in question in the same tongue in cheek manner as the Schitt's Creek character that he created. Shortly after the false mourning and the clarification on the part of the Schitt's Creek cast member and co-creator himself, the fan took to the microblogging site to profusely apologize for the tweet. Read on to know more about the exchange.

When a Schitt's Creek fan thought that Eugene Levy had passed away:

As per a report on E! Online, a Twitter user, who goes by the name of Stephanie, not too long ago, tweeted the following "Eugene Levy was such a gift. It's so sad to watch knowing he is no longer here.". In a matter of no time, several members of the Twitterati responded to the tweet, in which they tagged Dan himself. One of those tweets read "@danjlevy You may want to sit down for this.". The barrage of responses in question met with a single response from Dan himself, which simply read "News To Me". What followed it were the euphoric Tweets from fans of the Schitt's Creek cast member from all corners of the internet. Stephanie, on the other hand, apologised to Dan through a series of Tweets and expressed how "embarrassed" she was.

The Twitter exchange between Dan Lecy and the Schitt's Creek fans on the site:

I wasn’t tweeting this for a response. I just remembering hearing about the passing of this actor that I thought was Eugene and being super upset. I was seriously watching the show thinking what a fucking gift he is and being so sad thinking he was dead 😭.
