The legendary Dick Van Dyke proved he can still act, sing, and dance in a new music video starring and directed by his wife Arlene Silver.
At 96, the national treasure is 46 years older than the former make-up artist, but Dick proved he could keep up with his wife in the video, which was filmed for Valentine’s Day.
The pair – who will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary on February 29 – performed a cheery cover of Everybody Loves a Lover, a Richard Adler and Robert Allen song made popular by Doris Day in 1958.

Dick sang a verse from his chair before getting up to show his moves at Fallen Fruit’s colorful SUPERSHOW art installation in Los Angeles.
Everybody Loves a Lover also featured Tony Guerrero on jazz trumpet.
Despite being a nonagenarian, Dick has continued to perform in his recent years, and in 2020 formed a barbershop quartet called The Vantastix, who also appeared in the music video.
He previously told Parade of performing with the group: ‘It’s my favorite thing to do.
‘It’s kind of my retirement amusement. I don’t play golf. I have more fun singing and dancing.’

‘Everybody loves me!’ Arlene and barbershop trio the Vantastix kicked off the cheery cover of Everybody Loves a Lover, a Richard Adler and Robert Allen song
‘I’m having a ball!’ Silver then threw it to Dick, who sang a verse from his chair before getting up to show his moves at Fallen Fruit’s colorful SUPERSHOW art installation in Los Angeles
Van Dyke – who’s been singing with the Vantastix since 2020 – told Parade in 2013: ‘It’s my favorite thing to do. It’s kind of my retirement amusement. I don’t play golf. I have more fun singing and dancing’
Dick originally met Arlene when she was 39 and working at the 13th Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2007, where he presented Julie Andrews with a lifetime achievement award.
‘It’s one of the smartest moves I ever made,’ Dick told Parade.
‘She makes me happy. She’s very mature for her age, and I’m very immature for my age, so it’s just about right!’

Dick was previously married for 30 years to the late Margie Willett, which ended in 1984 after a six-year separation.
The couple had four children – son Barry, 70; son Christian, daughter Stacy, and daughter Carrie, 60.
Dick also lived with singer-dancer Michelle Triola from 1976 until her death in 2009 from lung cancer.

Last May, Dick received the 43rd Annual Kennedy Center Honors, joking to The Mirror: ‘I just turned 95, so I’m happy to be anywhere. Had I known I’d live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.’
‘Recognition from your peers is always icing on the cake. How did I get to a Kennedy award? I never trained or did anything. I just enjoyed myself,’ he said.
In 2018, Dick planned on coming out of retirement to play Navy veteran James Archer in Ryan Little’s paintball comedy Capture The Flag, produced by his 70-year-old son Barry, but it never materialized.
Dick is probably best known for his memorable roles in The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-66), Mary Poppins (1964), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) and, most recently, Mary Poppins Returns (2018).
