At 99, Dick Van Dyke Proves Age Is Just a Number in Rare New Photo

Dick Van Dyke is approaching his 100th birthday, and the legendary Mary Poppins star shows no signs of slowing down. Despite keeping a relatively private life, a recent photo shared on social media reveals just how amazing he looks at 99.

Turning 100 this December, Van Dyke credits his longevity and vitality to a consistent workout routine. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year, he said, “I’ve always exercised three days a week… We go to the gym, still, three days a week, and I think that’s it.”

He described his unique approach: moving between machines almost like dancing, swimming laps, and even taking naps to recover. It’s a combination that has kept him strong, energetic, and smiling through nearly a century.

Van Dyke is also releasing a new book, 100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life, a collection of life advice, stories, and reflections from his legendary Hollywood career.

Recently, musician Rick Springfield shared a gym photo with Van Dyke in Malibu, California. He wrote, “Filming an episode of Men’s Health and who should be there but 99-year-old Dick Van Dyke, working out on every machine. I thought I was doing well at 76, but Dick even did a little dance step before I left—amazing!”

Dick Van Dyke continues to inspire fans worldwide, proving that with optimism, movement, and joy, age truly is just a number. What’s your secret to a long and healthy life? Share your thoughts in the comments!
