The person from ‘Mary Poppins’ got better quite fast after a car crash earlier this year.
Dick Van Dyke, Even at the age of 97, he continues to discover fresh ways to amaze people.
The experienced actor posted a video on Instagram where he showed himself having fun during his initial ukulele lesson. He was practicing with a friend and paying attention to a teacher.
He wrote in the caption, “Just had my first ukulele lesson with @getstartedplayingukulele.” He also mentioned his wife, Arlene Silver, and mentioned that she had already taken three lessons.
He said, “You can always begin something new, no matter how late it is.”
He keeps being full of energy and excitement. This year, he amazed people by being on “The Masked Singer,” and he will soon be in a new movie called “Capture the Flag.” The movie is about veterans who compete to raise the flag in their neighborhood every morning.
He gives credit to his wife Silver, who is 46 years younger than him, for helping him stay active. He joked that having a young and beautiful wife to look after him has contributed to his long life. In March, the actor, known for his role in “Bye Bye Birdie,” made his fans concerned when he was in a car accident and got hurt, but not severely.
But that didn’t make him stop or become less active. Cameras saw him at an office with his wife Silver, and he made funny comments about the accident.
“I have two threads here,” he pointed, indicating the threads on his bottom lip. “Apart from that, it just made me a bit less smart, I think.”
“I’m 97 years old. All my pals have passed away,” he included. “But I’m still enjoying myself.”
