Dick Van Dyke Admits He’s “One Of Those Lucky People” Ahead Of His 99th Birthday
For so many of us, Dick Van Dyke has been a part of our lives from the very beginning. Whether we loved him in the Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Poppins, Diagnosis Murder, or the dozens of other ways he entertained, he’s always there for a smile. Dick Van Dyke will celebrate his 99th birthday on December 13, a feat most will never achieve. The star knows he won’t be around forever, but that doesn’t seem to bother him. Instead of fearing the unknown and wondering what happens at the end of life, he just keeps going.
Ahead Of His Birthday, Dick Van Dyke Took On A New Project
The legendary entertainer teamed up with Coldplay for the band’s newest music video for All My Love. Together, Dick and Chris Martin reminisce about his life, career, and what happens next. We see clips of his entertainment career along with snapshots of family amassed during nearly 10 decades on this earth.
“I’m acutely aware that I, you know, could go any day now, but I don’t know why it doesn’t concern me,” Dick says with a smile. “I’m not afraid of it. I have that feeling, totally against anything intellectual, that I’m gonna be alright.”
In addition to being candid, he’s also silly. He dances his signature way, which, even at nearly 100 years old, shows that he hasn’t lost his rhythm or ability to make people smile.
Dick Van Dyke said he knows that a career you love is a blessing. “I think I’m one of those lucky people who got to do for a living, what I would have done anyway. When you think how lucky I am, I got to do what I do — play and act silly.”
Happy Birthday, Dick Van Dyke you are a true legend.
