Now he actually looks like the old man he played in Mary Poppins. ☺

[-] dm_me_your_boobs@lemm.ee 16 points 6 months ago

Oh my god I had no idea he also played that character.

He also plays said characters son in the sequel, who by that time is basically his father, aka just current DVD

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

He still looks younger and healthier.

He actually looks like him including the young guy masked as old guy effect, which is surprising.

The 98-year-old actor has been nominated for his guest turn on Days of Our Lives, on which he played an elderly man with amnesia.

"I have played old men before, but 'comedy old men,'" Van Dyke said of the role last year. "This is the first time I ever just played my 97-year-old self."

Dick Van Dyke is great. I used to watch him all the time on The Dick Van Dyke Show

It's such a great show. Been ages since I've watched it so I'm sure it'd be like new all over again

That’s crazy. I love that old coot.
DVD show and Mary Poppins were big in my house.

Saw him speak at a Bernie Sanders rally once. He opened "I am what remains of Dick Van Dyke..."

Hahaha what a guy

[-] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago

Good for him! I liked him in Mary Poppins, his original show (the little of it I've seen), and his Scrubs guest spot. He seems like a nice, old man.

Thought this guy died like 20 years ago

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

He's still kicking it!

[-] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

I literally thought this post was about his death until scrolling to your comment, which is at the bottom of the page.

Incredible how seeing a famous name with “xx years old” makes my brain just throw context out the window outright

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 6 months ago

i just assumed he died 50 years ago since he was young in black and white media lmao

[-] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

One of the best. He needs to win.
