It appears "Canada's dad" paid a visit to Vancouver this past weekend.
Acting icon Eugene Levy was spotted around the city and its surrounding neighbourhoods, supposedly filming for his Apple TV+ series The Reluctant Traveler.
Levy was spotted filming inside the Granville Island Public Market on Saturday, March 8, in a light-coloured rain jacket, clear-coated glasses and, of course, his famous dark bushy eyebrows. The encounter was shared in a TikTok video:

Levy was also seen in other parts of Vancouver, according to several commenters on the video.
One said they interacted with the award-winning 78-year-old actor/comedian between takes on Grouse Mountain.
Another said they walked right past him in Gastown.
"I've never been more jealous," read one post.
"Johnny! Where's Moira!?" a commenter said, referring to Levy's role from the award-winning Canadian-based series, Schitt's Creek.
"They're just parading a national treasure around out in the open like this? Shouldn't Eugene be under glass and heavy security?" said another.
The Reluctant Traveler, now two seasons in since 2023, is a reality program that follows Levy around the world exploring hotels, cultures and local establishments.
Levy, a native of Hamilton, Ont., has won four Emmys over 13 nominations in his lifetime, including as recent as 2020 for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Schitt's Creek.
He also has 11 Canadian Comedy Awards to his name, as well as two Screen Actors Guild awards and a Grammy.
V.I.A. has reached out to Granville Island for comment on Levy's appearance.
