Dick Van Dyke says there’s a simple secret behind his long life, shared as the Hollywood favourite gets ready to mark his 100th birthday.
The Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star turns 100 on December 13, and says steering clear of “anger” and “hate” has been central to reaching the milestone. Speaking to People magazine, he explained he has “never really been able to work up a feeling of hate”, adding: “I’ve always thought that anger is one thing that eats up a person’s insides – and hate.”
