Dick Van Dyke's Amazing Secret Life at 97: Hollywood Legends Stuns Fans With New Skill — Watch
Actor Dick Van Dyke is still enjoying all life has to offer at 97 years old!
On the night of Monday, August 21, the movie star showed off his ukulele skills on Instagram, revealing he's never touched the instrument until now.
"My first ukulele lesson with @getstartedplayingukulele@bijoubox’s third," he captioned the clip. "It’s never too late to start something new #dandyvandyclub @curedaily@alauradesign."
In the video, he strummed along next to a younger man who admitted he couldn't hit the G7 chord, to which the Emmy winner replied, "I can't either."
Fans adored seeing the movie icon's liveliness, with one fan penning in the comments section, "You sir are such a legend. So inspiring. God bless you."
"Love that you’re still trying new things! A lesson in how to stay young," another person commented, while another wrote, "There is a special place for this amazing soul, incomparable grace, kindness and talent ♥️."
As OK! reported, Van Dyke has been living a relatively active life, and photographers even caught him going to the gym in June alongside wife Arlene Silver.
"Time to get in shape, folks!" he told the paparazzi and onlookers. "Everybody get in shape!"
His chipper attitude comes after a scary car crash into a gate March, in which he reportedly lost control of the car while driving around Malibu, Calif., in the rain.

The father-of-four proved he was feeling OK when he joked to the reporter, "Other than that, just made me a little dumber, I guess. I'm 97. All my friends are dead ... I'm still having fun."
