Dick Van Dyke will always be Rob Petrie to me. In the TV Guide of my childhood, The Dick Van Dyke Show<\/em> was a regular viewing favorite. He was funny and Van Dyke never shied away from doing physical comedy. Dick Van Dyke is 96 years old now and still going strong.<\/p>\n Van Dyke was spotted at the Malibu Community Labor Exchange handing out money to homeless people looking for work. He was handing out $5 bills.<\/p>\n EXCLUSIVE: Dick Van Dyke, 96, is seen handing out $5 bills and spreading good cheer to job seekers and homeless https:\/\/t.co\/2HC42BDhuY<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) October 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Dick Van Dyke Spotted Handing out Cash at Malibu Labor Center https:\/\/t.co\/E4cZjWN4rP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 People (@people) October 20, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This is a feel-good story on a couple of different levels. Yes, I know Van Dyke is a dyed in the wool liberal but we can move past that and focus on what he is doing. Apparently he has a history of visiting this place and supports its mission to find employment for the unemployed. If you watch the video<\/a> on the Daily Mail site, you\u2019ll hear Van Dyke say he comes every time he has some $5 bills. Van Dyke is sitting in his car and then he drives off after speaking with a reporter. He\u2019s 96 years old and still driving.<\/em> That alone is enough to make me shake my head and smile. I don\u2019t think I want most 96 year olds driving around but he looks ok.<\/p>\n Dick Van Dyke sounds good and seems to still have cognitive abilities in tact. He sure seems a lot more cognizant than the current president who is 79 years old. Joe Biden needs help figuring out how to exit a stage, for heaven\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n One of the center\u2019s employees called Van Dyke an \u201cangel from God.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n The 96-year-old actor returned to his favorite nonprofit organization, Malibu Community Labor Exchange, on Thursday morning, which helps match employers and those looking for work.<\/p>\n The legendary Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang actor handed out $5 bills and took the time to chat with several workers and spread joy to homeless people nearby.<\/p>\n \u2018Whenever I have some fives I come by,\u2019 Dick said. \u2018You can\u2019t do it all the time, though!\u2019<\/p>\n An employee at the center then chimed in, \u2018Just call him angel from God,\u2019 which the humble veteran batted away with his trademark modesty before waving goodbye.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The staff say Van Dyke first started coming to the center during the height of the pandemic in May 2021. It\u2019s reported that after leaving the center, Van Dyke went on to make a stop at a pharmacy. He keeps busy which probably plays a big role in his general well-being. He encourages other \u201cold guys\u201d<\/a> to do the same.<\/p>\n The Malibu Community Labor Exchange has been helping people find work since 1990. As of 2010, the organization had helped register 5,000 workers and helped many more find jobs, according to its website. While Dick seemed happy to get to give money in person, the organization also accepts donations through its website.<\/p>\n Other than donating, the Emmy-winning actor has stayed active and he\u2019s clearly making the most of his time. He was stopped by fans while out grocery shopping in June, and he told them that he was \u201cjust glad to still be here,\u201d according to Page Six. A year prior, Dick showed off some of his dance moves and encouraged other elderly stars to keep on moving. \u201cAll you old guys out there, listen to me, I\u2019m telling you. You can keep going for \u2014 I\u2019m still dancing \u2014 and singing!\u201d he said in an interview on CBS This Morning. Speaking of dancing, the Hollywood legend showed off his dance moves in an appearance in his wife Arlene Silver\u2019s music video for her romantic song \u201cEverybody Loves A Lover\u201d in February.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n It\u2019s good to see a legendary Hollywood figure doing so well at such a seasoned age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
