Dick Van Dyke He has a long and legendary career in the entertainment industry, but the man says he probably could have gotten off his ass earlier and conquered a lot more than he already did.
The iconic entertainer, who just turned 98 last week, has been profiled in a new film.CBS Sunday Morning“This weekend’s episode…in which he reflects on his many years in Hollywood and beyond, and the fruitful exploits he calls nothing but dumb luck.
Watch… Dick says everything that came his way professionally – and he better believe it was a lot – was simply good luck… because, according to him, he wasn’t being hounded.
DVD says he wasn’t seeking jobs or gigs when he was starting out – and explains that things naturally fell into his lap. In fact, he’s gone so far as to say he’s a lazy guy by nature…and it’s crazy to think about the amount of work he has under his belt.
As he put it, he would go out and shoot a movie or something, then come home…and literally sit and wait for the phone to ring announcing a new opportunity – and they always arrived.
The interviewer seems skeptical, and asks if he really didn’t plan for all the success he’s had – to which he says… not really. Somehow, he keeps claiming he doesn’t have much drive!
Even if his long line of great art is just a coincidence, we are happy with his success. Dick is a national treasure, and the fact that he’s still as sharp as he is… is nothing short of a blessing.
Happy birthday Mr. Van Dyke!!!
