Seems like a good example of the health benefits of remaining active and an optimistic mindset. At least, he seems like an optimistic guy; I won't pretend to know.
Movement is so important, both mentally and physically.
I think he also has a genetic advantage, but even though heβs slowed down a lot, he runs circles around people 30 years younger than him, mentally and physically.
I figured someone would say it eventually. Money helps, but all the money in the world doesn't make it easy to be active and healthy in your 90s. Not yet, anyway.
I'm happy getting older, for now, and that ain't gonna last. The aches, pains, other weirdness doesn't bother me so much, but the damned reading glasses give me fits.
Worn glasses since I was five. Now I have to either carry a pair along with wearing contacts, or take regular glasses off to read.
Working outside has noticeably improved my close vision though!
You might try the progressive lenses. Some people hate them, and I was worried I would, but my opthalmologist talked me into trying them and they're great.
Absolute legend and if anything can motivate you to live a healthy and active lifestyle it should be this. Man looks sprightlier than many 50-year-olds, never mind almost double that!
TIL Dick Van Dyke is still kicking. Good for Dick.

Not to mention the health benefits of being fucking rich.

Facts. DVD has prioritized his health his entire life, and had some luck and good fortune to supplement his effort. We should all be so lucky.
I did not know the DVD was named after him.
Ted Danson is another crazy example of this and recently did an interview with Dick Van Dyke on his podcast (on YouTube on Team Coco).
And dating half your age.
Hard not to at 99, prospects really drop off after average life expectancy
This is the only acceptable unsolicited Dick pic that should be sent.
Good old Penis van Lesbian.
This would be such a good username.
obvs
Still seems to have lots of energy in him too!
Here he is dancing on the red carpet.
Dick Van Dyke and Dolly Parton are the real American royalty.
As an old man, I'll say that getting older is better than the alternative. But, given the choice, I wouldn't get older at all.
Dick is enjoying life, he's not enjoying being old.

proof that exercise causes aging
Not many people know this but he started out his career as "Dick Goatee". /s
I loved his Diagnosis Murder show back in the 90s.

No wonder he is still spritely in Mary Poppins. I wish I would still be as fit as him at his age!
Damn I fucking love that.
