Dick Van Dyke looked frail during a recent outing in Los Angeles.

The Marry Poppins actor stepped out in California earlier this month, appearing in a playful mood as he headed for lunch with his friends. The 98-year-old Hollywood star joked with photographers as he walked to the eatery, with the help of a cane.

He quipped about the presidential election, telling snappers he'd rather have Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States, over Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Dick beamed for waiting shutterbugs, wearing a casual ensemble with his shirt sleeves rolled up.

Flashing his signature smile, the acting icon kept his belongings safe in a black shoulder bag as he entered the restaurant. Dick's only recently made Hollywood history as the oldest person to ever be nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award.

He's already got one under his belt and was even inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1995. He was nominated for his latest gong on April 19 for his guest role as Timothy Robicheaux in the popular daytime soap opera, Days of Our Lives.

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.
