Although eternity is a good thing that many people desire, Dick Van Dyke shows the details of why he thinks it is overrated.
The actor is about to turn 100 years old and, although he is happy about it, he has also had to live the most negative part of this situation. Living forever does not mean that those around you will do the same.
That's why Dick Van Dyke points out that living for a century also carries an intrinsic curse: "I've lost a lot of friends". In a recent interview with his wife, Arlene Silver, the actor its that he has had to say goodbye to many friends who have died in recent years. The last one, Ed Asner, who ed away in 2021.
"He outlived them all... That's the curse of living almost 100 years," his wife said during this interview. Even so, she also said that he has always been happy and grateful to have been able to live so many years. A positive mentality that the 'Mary Poppins' star explains: "Life has treated me well. I can't complain."
The age difference between Dick Van Dyke and Arlene Silver is not a problem: "It's disconcerting"
The couple has an age gap of 46 years. Although, at first glance, it may seem like a disadvantage, for them it is a positive aspect of their relationship. "We get along so well. Everyone said it wouldn't work..." the actor recalled. "We care so much about each other. It's unsettling how well it works," Silver agreed.
"People of the same age don't usually last," Van Dyke joked to close the age gap issue. Despite his advanced age, the actor is still eager to get together with those closest to him. According to some sources, he is already preparing a "big party" to celebrate his 100th birthday
