Dick Van Dyke, 100, leans on a walker as he enjoys rare public outing with wife Arlene, 54, in LA (photos)

Dick Van Dyke was seen leaning on a walker as he enjoyed a rare outing with wife of 14 years Arlene Silver in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The 100-year-old Hollywood legend, who married the makeup artist back in 2012, enjoyed the lowkey daytime excursion as the pair also stopped by a Starbucks drive-thru to pick up tasty drinks.

Van Dyke kept it casual wearing a pair of dark blue sweatpants as well as a short-sleeved white shirt.

The Mary Poppins star was spotted strolling next to his wife as they made their way down a sidewalk.

He was also seen stepping out of the passenger side of a vehicle, which included a special item hanging directly above the dashboard.

An air freshener with a photo of the Emmy winner was placed around the rearview mirror in a lighthearted nod to the actor.

'She gives me energy. She gives me humor, and all kinds of support,' he said of his wife while talking to ABC News last year.

He also discussed how he still feels young at 100.

'The funniest thing is, it's not enough. A hundred years is not enough. You want to live more, which I plan to.'

Van Dyke explained that both he and his wife remain active, which he attributed to his health.

'We go to the gym three days a week, [my wife's] a health nut, and we work out,' the actor said. 'That's good advice for anybody.'

The award-winning star added that he doesn't suffer from 'any ache or pain,' before calling himself 'lucky.'

And during an interview with The Mirror, Van Dyke explained that he gave up drinking years earlier in 1972 after alcohol had 'ruined' his life.

He recalled doing a stint in rehab for 'two weeks' while sharing that it was 'nothing like today.' Afterwards, he 'did the whole AA 12-step thing.'

All she has to do is put a pillow over his mouth as he sleeps and nobody will ask a single question. A $50 million inheritance at 55 at too bad.

I think Andy Griffith was a bit of a weirdo.

Ever heard the story about his death and burial?

Strange

“Last time I checked he was a woke TDS idiot.”

At 100 he is justified using a mail in ballot. He looks like a Trump man to me.

“Dick Van Dyke, 100, leans on a walker as he enjoys rare public outing with wife Arlene, 54, in LA (photos)”. He’s at the perfect age to get into national politics.

You are welcome. I try to see how these really old guys/gals made it to such an old age. Besides good genes but not always. Look how healthy Ringo Starr is. He had an impoverished childhood. Lungs bad, he was in a sanatorium at least a year. Started drumming there on boxes

Ringo is 86 or so.

Well, very few people in public life are Free Republic type conservatives.

So if we’re going to judge people based only on politics, there are very few people on Free Republic we can say positive things about.

That really saddened me to find out he was an extremely woke and outspoken leftist.

Sometimes, I wish I didn’t know these things, but he broadcasts it.

Calling someone what they are isn’t judging in my book.

You might want to read through the comments on this post.....I’m not the only one.

He was also active and has a zest for life which probably helps.

Obvious he’s had bad eyesight for at least fourteen years.

No, why don't you tell it to us?

I think when I found out he was such leftist hater, I never paid him any attention. I really didn’t know he was even dead!

My father’s 100th is this weekend.

I miss him.

He knew Jerry, Dick’s brother.

Not as a friend of Bill

Really? Can’t do the research?

Still mad because germany got blown outta the world cup I guess.

Here....👇

AI Overview

“Andy Griffith was buried less than five hours after his death. He passed away at his home in Manteo, North Carolina, at approximately 7:00 a.m. ET, and his family laid him to rest in the Griffith Family Cemetery on Roanoke Island around 11:30 a.m. ET that same morning.

His rapid burial was pre-planned and strictly carried out to honor his final wishes for a quick, private farewell away from the public eye.”

your welcome
