Dick Van Dyke sparked a huge reaction from fans this week when he made a public appearance alongside his wife Arlene Silver. 

The adored Hollywood star took to the stage at the latest Vandy Camp event in Los Angeles at the age of 99. 

Dick answered questions with plenty of humor and heart but it was his rendition of a Mary Poppins classic that really got them talking.

Arlene’s social media followers couldn’t wait to comment, with many asking “how does he do it?” while more wrote: “I could not adore this legend more,” and “this made me smile ear to ear.”

Dick delighted fans for another reason this week when he announced he would be releasing his next book on November 18 ahead of his milestone birthday in December, titled 100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life.
