MALIBU, CALIFORNIA: Dick Van Dyke was recently spotted in Malibu with his wife Arlene Silver as the pair enjoyed a golf cart during shopping. The 96-year-old actor had on a light blue jumper, dark trousers and black slippers.

Looking otherwise in good spirits, Dyke seemed to have some kind of eye infection as his left eye looked red and inflamed. His 51-year-old wife was behind the wheels wearing a statement pair of sunglasses. The pair had exchanged vows in 2012 when the comedian was 86 and Silver was 40.

A person tweeted, “God bless Mr. Van Dyke...he was always one of my favourite actors and his touching generosity towards the less fortunate...of which there are many...proves his kindness and humanity towards the poor and needy..He is a true Role Model for us all!” “God bless him. If only more celebrities were as generous… Dick Van Dyke, 96, buys coats and drops them off for those in need,” another user wrote while a third user added, “For many years I had provided sound system for an annual skid row Thanksgiving day event, providing meals & entertainment for the downtowners.
