Dick Van Dyke is 98 and feeling it.
The veteran comedian recently had to back out of a planned appearance at the Emmy Awards and an event in Utah, after which the New York Post caught up with Van Dyke on Monday as he left a pharmacy in Malibu.
He reported that when Van Dyke was asked how he was, he replied, “I feel old.”

When asked about any possible plans to celebrate his upcoming 99th birthday in December, the icon said, “I'm just praying I make it.”
Van Dyke caused concern by not attending the Emmy Awards, despite previously being announced as a presenter.
It was announced on Monday that he would also not attend the three-day fan event held in Salt Lake City, Utah next weekend.
“He is grateful to all those who continue to support him, but at nearly 99 years of age, traveling and interacting with thousands of people is more than he can handle at this time,” a statement announcing the cancellation of his events said.
The Mary Poppins star has continued to work in recent years, including voicing herself for an episode of the animated series The Simpsons last year.
