Despite his age, Van Dyke remains active in the industry and was recently unmasked as one of the contestants on The Masked Singer last month.
“I had never even seen the show when they asked me. So I checked it out, and it looked like a lot of fun,” the icon told People about his decision to do the show. “I was positive they wouldn’t be able to guess who I was. And I was right!”
Van Dyke is currently married to 51-year-old Arlene Silver, who is also a singer. The couple has been husband and wife for the last 11 years. He attributes his wife to helping him stay young at heart.
“Having a beautiful young wife half my age to take care of me — that works!” he once told People. ”My positive attitude, I get that from my wife.”
As CNN reports, Van Dyke’s camp has yet to issue a statement regarding the actor’s accident or how he is recovering.
