Mary Poppins icon Dick Van Dyke has credited his regular workout routine as the 'secret weapon' behind his good health, as he nears his 100th birthday

Mary Poppins icon Dick Van Dyke has revealed his "secret weapon" to staying healthy at the grand age of 98.

The beloved Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star, who was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012, feels incredibly fortunate to be in the acting profession, saying: "It isn't work - it's play. Actors are so lucky. I've had such a good time." However, life hasn't always been easy for Dick, who has openly discussed his 25-year battle with alcoholism and its effects on his family. In a candid interview with the Guardian newspaper, he reflected: "I tried to be a good role model to my children, but I was an alcoholic for 25 years, which inevitably impacted on family life."
