Rick Springfield is adored by Dick Van Dyke’s fitness routine.
In an Instagram post on September 26th, the “Jesse Girl” singer posed with the “Mary Poppins” star at the gym on December 13th, as the two showed off their muscles.
“When I filmed an episode of men’s health, I went to the gym and they decided who should be there, but 99-year-old Dick Van Dyke works on all the machines,” Springfield captioned the photo. “I thought I was doing well with the 76, but Dick got up from the chest press machine and did a bit of a dance step before leaving!
Van Dyke says that “100 Live for Living 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life” is set to be released in November, and has maintained an impressive gym recuperation for years.
“I’ve always exercised three days a week. We still go to the gym three days a week,” Van Dyke told Ted Danson and Mary Steenbergen on a January 22 episode of the “Everyone Knows Your Name” podcast.
“I get off and do a lot of stretching and yoga-type things.
Dick Van Dyke is approaching 100 years old, and “I couldn’t be happy”
On September 21, three months after dropping out of the Bandy Camp event due to illness, Van Dyke celebrated his wife, Arlene Van Dyke’s birthday in Malibu with a “fake” Bandy Camp birthday bash.
He and the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Arlene, sharing a sweet smooch at the end of the serenade, and the couple shared a sweet smooch at the end of the serenade.
“We’ve been married for 13 years. In two and a half months, I’ll be 100. I hope!” he told the crowd, according to a video shared by photographer Trevor Perez. “And I’ve never seen a more beautiful woman in my life than this.”
After describing their fateful first meeting at the 2006 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Van Dyke said, “Now we’ve been married for 13 years and I couldn’t be happy.”
Another video from the event shows Van Dyke holding a cane in his left hand, shaking his hips and twisting his leg.
Van Dyke often takes the opportunity to show his spryness by dancing in public places, such as the 2024 Coldplay’s “All My Love” music video. With a seven-minute director’s cut, he meditated on the sense of long career and love in Hollywood.
“I think I’m one of the lucky people I had to do anyway for the way I would have lived,” he said. “I have to do what I’m doing. I play, act stupid.”
