The viral snapshot first surfaced on Twitter at the end of July, when the stars shared a meal at prominent chef Asma Khan‘s restaurant, Darjeeling Express.

People had questions. Mainly, are Dan and Paul secretly friends, and if so, how did we miss this before? Is the Schitt’s Creek creator joining the Ant-Man franchise? Also, Paul looks so young, doesn’t he?

Regarding the dinner, though. “I wish I was best friends with [Paul]. Not true,” Dan said, additionally confirming that he’s “not in Ant-Man” and noting that Paul does, in fact, look “much younger” than him.
Dan is 38.

“So, it’s kind of a lose-lose,” he continued, of having dinner with Paul Rudd. “Other than the fact that you’re having dinner with Paul Rudd, which is a win-win.”
“Look at his face,” Dan urged the late night show’s host, referencing the viral pic. “I look like a 98-year-old man beside him.”
“There will definitely be genetic testing done on this wonderfully beautiful man.”
