“This form of sexy is a niche market,” Levy jokingly told People. The Emmy winner also dished about what he’s been up to while quarantining amid the coronavirus pandemic. Like many of us, Levy was cooking (or at least trying to flex his culinary skills).
“I was trying different pasta sauces, I was making breads, I was baking cookies. I did the Levain bakery chocolate chip cookies that I found the recipe online, and they weren’t quite as good,” he said. “I did a banana bread recipe that a friend swore by, and then I made it, and it wasn’t quite as good. And then, I did a sourdough bread that turned out like a really heavy, dense brick.”
Levy ultimately decided to spend his time making takeout orders instead of sourdough starters.
Levy also practiced his mixology skills, making Negronis, Manhattans — and perfecting the iconic Cosmopolitan. “It’s my favorite cocktail. Sex and the City aside, it’s a very refreshing beverage,” he insisted. “But there’s an alchemy to a Cosmopolitan that needs to be just right, otherwise it does not taste good. So, I have continually been trying to perfect the Cosmopolitan on the rocks in a tumbler, not a martini glass.”
During quarantine, Levy quipped that he tried to make the mundane activities of everyday sexy, such as taking out the recycles. He also took a free online course offered by the University of Alberta called “Indigenous Canada,” and encouraged his followers to take it as well.
Within two weeks of telling his followers about it, over 60,000 people signed up.
Ultimately, he found the necessary time at home due the pandemic “completely transformative,” and noted that a “sense of community” has been established, despite being isolated.
“Everyone going through a very similar situation in terms of having the same restrictions on themselves, I think it’s forced us to communicate. It certainly opened up lines of communication for me,” he told People.
