Dick Van Dyke, 100, dances and laughs at Malibu event with wife Arlene Silver
100-year-old Disney legend Dick Van Dyke was spotted dancing while hanging out with wife Arlene Silver — and meeting Herb Alpert — at an event in Malibu.
In a video shared to Instagram by the actor’s personal photographer, Laura Johansen, the centenarian tapped his heels and shimmied to guitar music in his chair while attending the groundbreaking for an urgent care center in Malibu.
He wore a black printed shirt and khakis for the outing, accessorizing with a ball cap and casual loafers. The “Mary Poppins” star held a cane as he happily chatted and laughed with Alpert, 91.
Van Dyke’s wife, Arlene Silver, smiled as the entertainment icons shook hands over her lap.
“When you’re just minding your own business, jamming away to the music and suddenly find Herb Alpert introducing himself…’Gotta keep moving!’” Johansen captioned the clip in part on Monday.
In the comments thread, fans marveled over the celebrity sightings, with one person writing, “Imagine sitting behind them!?”
“This sparked so much joy,” another person wrote, while a third chimed in, “He is so adorable, look at him chair dancing!! ❤️”
Another gushed, “Icons being icons.”
The “Dick Van Dyke Show” star doesn’t appear to be slowing down, despite reaching his milestone 100th birthday on Dec. 13.
“Death doesn’t really frighten me,” the actor said during an interview with “Good Morning America” in December, “although I’d like a lot more life!”
The “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” star also touched on the downsides of aging during an essay published by the Sunday Times in November.
“It’s frustrating to feel diminished in the world, physically and socially,” he wrote at the time, adding that he can no longer travel due to health limitations.
“Like my old characters, I am now a stooper, a shuffler and a teeterer,” he wrote elsewhere in the essay. “I have feet problems and I go supine as often as is politely possible.”
He divulged that his marriage to Arlene, 54 — with whom he tied the knot in 2012 — has kept him young.
“I met Arlene in 2006 and she quickly became my soulmate and the love of my life,” he said of the romance.
“Without question, our ongoing romance is the most important reason I have not withered away into a hermetic grouch.”
He also noted that at “half [his] age,” she makes him feel “somewhere between two thirds and three quarters [his] age.”
