Comedian Dick Van Dyke celebrated his 100th birthday on Saturday, six decades after starring alongside Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins and headlining The Dick Van Dyke Show. Reflecting on his milestone, Van Dyke told ABC News from his Malibu home, “A hundred years is not enough. You want to live more, which I plan to.”

The celebration includes a nationwide screening of a new documentary, Dick Van Dyke: 100th Celebration, honoring his decades-long career.

Having overcome alcoholism in the 1970s, Van Dyke has shared his journey publicly. On aging, he noted he often played older characters as grumpy men, but at 100, he says his own experience is far more upbeat, embodying the humor and charm that made him an enduring icon.
