Dan Levy's Teenage Mishaps and Nostalgic Confessions

Roger Ebert

Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic whose reviews and essays defined cinema criticism for decades.

During a recent appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show," renowned actor Dan Levy openly recounted some notable missteps from his youth. He shared a candid anecdote about a hit-and-run incident during his teenage years and, in a lighter vein, confessed to a playful act of theft from his past employment at a video store. These revelations provided a glimpse into the star's personal history, offering a blend of humor and a touch of youthful indiscretion.

The discussion centered around a particular memory from Levy's teenage years, specifically when he was fifteen years old. He borrowed his parents' vehicle to go to work and, while attempting to parallel park, found himself in a predicament. Describing himself as inept at the skill back then, he accidentally bumped the car behind him. In a state of panic, he then bumped the car in front, only to hit the car behind again. This series of clumsy maneuvers attracted the attention of onlookers, who began to observe and mock the unfolding scene. Overwhelmed by embarrassment, Levy decided to drive away from the incident. He later recounted how his mother discovered the event months later after receiving a phone call, leading to a memorable confrontation and a lesson learned about the consequences of his actions.

Adding another layer to his youthful escapades, Levy also divulged a humorous anecdote about his time working at a video rental establishment. He admitted to stealing a DVD copy of the film "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," a movie in which Drew Barrymore herself starred. He expressed his deep admiration for the film, explaining that it was constantly rented out, making it difficult for him to watch. His confession sparked a delightful surprise from Barrymore, who presented him with a signed unrated version of the film, autographed by her and Cameron Diaz, with the promise of Lucy Liu's signature to follow. This unexpected gift brought a moment of genuine excitement and nostalgia for Levy, who humorously emphasized the unrated version's superior entertainment value.

These reflections offered a charming and relatable look into Dan Levy's past, revealing the journey from youthful blunders to becoming a celebrated public figure. His stories served as a reminder that even stars have a history of relatable experiences and lessons learned.
