Dick Van Dyke Hits The Gym To Celebrate His 98th Birthday! [PHOTOS]

Dick Van Dyke is proving age is just a number as he hits the gym at 98 years old!

The "Mary Poppins"actor is celebrating his birthday today, December 13, and is doing so by making sure he is in excellent shape.

The "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" star was spotted walking into the gym, next to his wife Arlene Silver, in Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon -- one day before his 98th birthday.

When asked about being at the gym hours before turning 98, Dyke said, “Tomorrow [is my birthday], that’s right. My God, nobody should be 98 years old.”

“I hate going to the gym. She makes me go to the gym,” he said, smiling as he pointed to his wife. He was seen wearing a gray sweater, blue sweatpants, and black shoes as he got ready to get his workout in.

The now 98-year-old shocked the world after it was revealed he participated as "The Gnome" on season 9 of "The Masked Singer." After he took off his mask, judge Nicole Scherzinger burst into tears, expressing how much the actor meant to her and the world.

"I love you so much. We love you. The whole world loves you so much," Scherzinger said. "It's an honor to have you on our show. Like, I can't -- I can't believe you're here! I gotta-- I'm trying to play it cool, but-- and you look so gorgeous! You look so handsome!"

"You are one of the reasons why I got into comedy," judge Ken Jeong added. "You are comedy."

"You're our childhood," Scherzinger then added, with tears still pouring down her face.

After he was eliminated, the "Mary Poppins" actor gave the audience and viewers a performance of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" -- complete with his dance moves, proving that he's still got it at 97 years old!

Dick Van Dyke was recently surprised with an advance taping of "Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic", which is a two-hour tribute CBS special featuring footage and live performances of his decades-long career.

"You think, 'I don't deserve this,' but it's difficult to say how I felt," he told PEOPLE ahead of his big day. "I came home, and I said, 'You know something? It's going to be a couple of days before this actually sinks in that it happened.' I never expected that kind of recognition. My whole life went before me. I didn't realize I had done so many things while I was 75 years in show business.”

“Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Disney's "Mary Poppins" and “Me Ol’ Bamboo” from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" were among the hits highlighted in the special.

When speaking on the 60-year-old song from "Mary Poppins," Van Dyke said, "You know, Julie [Andrews] sang, like, a little sharp, on top of the note, and I just went crazy. I'm flat most of the time. I had such trouble staying with her. She was always just a little bit sharp."

The "Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic" premieres Thursday, Dec. 21 at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
