At almost 100, Dick Van Dyke won't sit still — and is eying 1 more big role

On Dec. 13, Dick Van Dyke, legendary actor of stage and screen, will turn 100 years old

On Dec. 13, Dick Van Dyke, legendary actor of stage and screen, will turn 100 years old.

But despite his centenarian status, Van Dyke has no intention of hanging up his hat just yet. In fact, he may never retire.

“I don’t want to. I mean, it’s my hobby. It’s my life. I love it,” he says of acting during an exclusive sit-down interview with TODAY’s Al Roker.

“I’m looking for work right now,” he continues, only half-joking.

It might have to wait since Van Dyke is currently tied up promoting his latest book, “100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life,” out Nov. 18.
