Dick Van Dyke, Legend of Stage and Screen, Turns 100!
00:39
Dick Van Dyke isn’t slowing down
On Aug. 28, the comedian posted a video on Instagram in which he was upside down on an inversion table
“#DVD100 1/2 workout inversion table #keepmoving,” he captioned the brief clip
An inversion table allows users to hang upside down and is known for providing relief from back pain, encouraging muscle relaxation and improving flexibility
Fans were in awe of the actor
“I hate how he’s more athletic than me,” one person commented
“Ok, it’s official: the rest of us have absolutely no excuse to not be exercising!!!,” another fan wrote
“I’m 29 and struggling with exercise, then here’s the 100-year-old legend himself casually inverting his body like no big deal,” someone else pointed out
Van Dyke continues to stay in shape, and he’s previously said he has no interest in retiring from acting
“I don’t want to. I mean, it’s my hobby. It’s my life. I love it,” he told TODAY’s Al Roker about acting during a November 2025 interview, shortly before he turned 100
Van Dyke, who won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2024 for his guest role on “Days of Our Lives,” is an icon for his work onscreen and beloved for his active lifestyle in his golden years, even if he never thought he’d make it this far
“I didn’t expect to get past 80, at the most. The fun thing is, I don’t know what I did, right? I have no idea,” he said
But he does say remaining active is likely behind his longevity
“I think keeping moving,” he told Al
In 2024, he also singled out wife Arlene Silver with helping him maintain a healthy lifestyle
“My wife, god bless her, makes sure I go to the gym three days a week and do a full workout,” he told CBS News
Van Dyke’s workout routine has even impressed others
In September 2025, Rick Springfield bumped into Van Dyke at the gym and was wowed by him
“I thought I was doing well at 76, but Dick got up from the chest press machine and did a little dance step before I left! Amazing!” Springfield captioned a photo of them on Instagram
