The 95-year-old actor gave back to members of his community on Tuesday (30 March) while running errands. After stopping by a bank to withdraw money from an ATM, Van Dyke visited the Malibu Community Labour Exchange, a non-profit organisation that helps out-of-work people find local jobs. Parking his car outside the facility, the Mary Poppins star then handed out piles of bills to people waiting in line, at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has left many people unemployed. It is unknown how much money he gave out. Born in 1925, Van Dyke was best known for his work in the 1960s on The Dick Van Dyke Show and in musicals such as Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

I had to pay him to do the part.” Independent Culture Newsletter The best in film, music TV & radio straight to your inbox every week ____________________Please enter your email addressPlease enter a valid email addressPlease enter a valid email address (BUTTON) SIGN UP Thanks for signing up to the Independent Culture newsletter {{#verifyErrors}} {{message}} {{/verifyErrors}} {{^verifyErrors}} {{message}} {{/verifyErrors}} [ ] I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent.
