Just five months before skidding into a gate in wet weather, Dick Van Dyke wished for it to rain.
The “Mary Poppins” star was heard in October lamenting about the Los Angeles drought.
“Is it ever going to rain?” asked Van Dyke, 97, as he backed his Lexus out of a parking spot in a video obtained by The Post.
The beloved performer’s sentiments were an eerie foreshadowing of his unfortunate driving mishap Wednesday when he skidded on a wet road and crashed his car into a gate in Malibu.
Paramedics treated the veteran actor, who sustained a potential concussion and a bloody mouth and nose, at the scene.
While drugs and alcohol are not believed to be involved, the officers reportedly requested that Van Dyke retake his driving test with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
