Last December, Dick appeared to be in a chipper mood as he hit a gym session with his wife Arlene Silver, 52, ahead of his milestone 98th birthday. The Grammy award-winning star looked in high spirits as he set off without the assistance of a wheelchair or cane for the gym and stopping for a brief chat with one of his excited fans.
During the conversation the former Chitty Chitty Bang Bang actor was asked if he was ready to get in a good workout ahead of his special day. To which he replied: "Tomorrow, that’s right. My God, nobody should be 98 years old!” He then pointed and smiled towards his wife Arlene and said: "I hate going to the gym. She makes me go to the gym!”
The pair opted for casual grey attire as Dick was seen sporting a long-sleeved grey pullover and long blue comfortable sweatpants paired with black shoes. His wife was seen stepping out in a zip-up grey jacket paired with tight black leggings and light brown Uggs.
