Dick Van Dyke is turning 100 this year on Dec. 13, but he’s still full of energy and joy. The famous actor, known for classics like “Mary Poppins” and “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” recently talked about one big moment in his career that he now wishes had gone differently.

Van Dyke said there was one movie role he regrets turning down. It was a chance to act with Hollywood star Cary Grant. Even though Van Dyke doesn’t remember exactly why he said no at the time, he now wishes he had taken the part, which he didn’t specify. He said he thinks about that decision “every day.”

His remarks came during a speech at the Vandy High Tea - a charity event hosted by Chris Isaacson Presents that raises funds to benefit The Van Dyke Endowment of the Arts and the forthcoming Dick Van Dyke Museum.
