Dan Levy is celebrating another trip around the sun.

On Wednesday, the "Schitt's Creek" star marked his 40th birthday on Instagram with a sunset selfie. The actor posed in an off-white crewneck sweater and black framed glasses in front of a picturesque Italian landscape.

Levy kept his caption short, writing: "40," alongside a balloon emoji.

The snap was quickly met with messages wishing the Toronto-born producer a happy birthday — and praising his ageless look.

"I can’t believe I’m going to give you a compliment but… 40 actually looks really good on you," his "Schitt's Creek" co-star Emily Hampshire commented on the post. "Happy birthday! Now delete this," she joked.

"You don't look a day over 65-ish," his Ottawa-born "Schitt's Creek" co-star Annie Murphy quipped.

"Hoping you have the best day surrounded by all that love you as much as we all do," a fan chimed in.

"Welcome to the new demographic. It looks good on you," someone else shared.

"You’re aging like a fine glass of wine. Cheers to you!," another penned.

The Emmy Award winner's sister, Sarah Levy also took to Instagram with a post commemorating her brother turning 40.

"He’s 40 and thriving," she wrote, alongside a sun-soaked photo of Levy in a swimming pool.

"Grateful to be back in Italy to celebrate such a milestone. Happy 40th [Dan Levy]. I’m in awe."

Earlier this year, Levy opened up on the debut episode of fellow MTV host Jessi Cruickshank's "Phone a Friend" podcast, about his time hosting "The Hills: The After Show" and the homophobia he faced.

"I'm not going to name names," he said, "I remember walking into work one day and someone asked me what I did on the weekend. I said 'I installed a dimmer switch in my apartment.' And that person said 'Wow, it’s almost like you’re a real man,'" he shared.

"I thought, ‘This isn’t right.’ But at the time, there was no sensitivity, and there was no one to go to. Because it was a different time."
