Dick Van Dyke looked back on his career and admitted to being ‘pretty lazy’ when it came to finding acting projects
After turning 98, Dick Van Dyke reflected on his career and admitted that he’s been “pretty lazy” when it comes to looking for acting projects over the years.
“As a businessman, I’m not much good. I would do a movie and come home, and just sit down and wait for the phone to ring. I wasn’t aggressive,” Van Dyke shared in an interview on CBS’ Sunday Morning on Sunday, December 17. “I was out of work a lot because I didn’t go out and look for it.”
The legendary actor admitted he doesn’t have “a lot of drive” but has been “very lucky” in life. Van Dyke’s career has spanned more than seven decades, with iconic movies under his belt, including Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins.
Van Dyke explained that his “whole career has depended on” having fun.
“If I’m not enjoying myself, I’m really bad,” he said during Sunday’s interview.
