Dick Van Dyke hits century: life lessons behind longevity

Dick Van Dyke's marked a rare milestone of 100th birthday, as per his wife Arlene Silver celebrations were perfect.

While the veteran actor celebrated privately at his Malibu home as Silver led a flash mob dancing to a medley of her husband's songs during the party

The party was attended only by the couple’s family and friends. "It went so perfect — just everything," the 54-year-old told People.

She further noted, "And he was so happy. His face, I love to make him have that face."

"This felt so perfect," she gushed, adding that she feels "relieved, grateful and so happy" with how her husband’s milestone party went.

Silver previously had revealed that the American actor and comedian wanted to celebrate with nothing, "He doesn't want to do anything," she explained, adding, "He wants to be in his room watching Jeopardy! reruns with me."

This comes after Van Dyke got candid about being a 100-year-old. "I feel really good for 100," the Mary Poppins star shared.

"Sometimes I have more energy than others — but I never wake up in a bad mood."

To mark his birthday, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang actor celebrated with his new book, 100 Rules for Living to 100 which compiles all his life lessons in the memoir.

100 Rules for Living to 100 is now available in bookstores. Notably, the couple share a 46-year age gap.
