That's right… it's Daniel and Eugene Levy!

The father-son duo, who co-created the cult comedy series Schitt's Creek, which premiered in 2015, share an uncanny resemblance that only grew stronger as Dan grew older.

Dan and Eugene, who hail from Toronto, often pose together on the red carpet, showing off their matching glasses, hairstyles and bushy eyebrows.

The famous Netflix series followed Eugene's Johnny Rose, the head of the family, who is forced to find out what it means to be a father and husband after losing everything and making a living with his only remaining asset, a remote town called, Schitt's Creek, which was bought as a joke birthday present, has to be rebuilt.

Actress Catherine O'Hara, 69, played his onscreen wife Moira Rose, while Annie Murphy, 37, played daughter Alexis and Dan played his son David.

The show's sixth and final season premiered in 2020 and coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, which helped bring more attention to the show, providing tremendous comic relief.

In 2019, the show was nominated for four Emmys but won none. However, in 2020, it swept the awards show with seven wins, breaking the record for most wins by a comedy series in a single year.

The film won two more Primetime Emmys for Outstanding Costume and Outstanding Cast, bringing the total to nine.

At the 2021 Golden Globes, the cast won Best TV Series – Musical or Comedy and O'Hara picked up a Best Actress award.

Dan previously claimed Nepo babies had to work “three times as hard” to have a career – although he admitted he distanced himself from his famous father Eugene for five years to avoid accusations he was the reason for his success .

Dan revealed how he kept his family tree secret during his formative years on MTV Live as he wanted to establish his success independent of his 77-year-old father.

It wasn't until he felt he had made a name for himself in the industry that he approached Eugene about taking part in the hit comedy Schitt's Creek.

“I never went to my father for anything,” he told the audience at 92NY in New York on Monday night. I think part of him always wondered why I never came to him.

“You know the culture, you know how easy it is to judge people who grew up in the industry.”

He continued, “I had gone through high school life, college, and MTV, and they didn't know who my dad was when I auditioned for MTV, and they didn't know for five years.”

“And then once I felt like I had built my own relationship with the audience and had a successful television show, I felt like I had earned a place in the conversation, and that's when I included him.”

“It wasn't until I did the work and came up with the idea for Schitt's Creek that I knew I had what it took to pull my weight.”

Dan, who was speaking after a special screening of his newly released Netflix film Good Grief, added: “When you find yourself in situations like this you legitimately have to do almost three times the work to get to a point where you can do it .” “Go to my father, as I did, and ask him to work for me.”

Dan revealed that his relationship with his father's work was “always pretty distant.”

He shared, “We grew up in Toronto because he didn’t want us in the industry. He wanted to go to work and return to his family – and I know that must have been a big sacrifice.

“I remember all these movies coming out and watching them and thinking, 'When did you do that?' Was that when you were away for three months in March? And what's going on in your head? How did you write that? And yet I was completely inspired.'

When he turned his attention to his father's performance in the 1999 comedy American Pie, he exclaimed, “I was in high school! People thought the movie was about my life!”
