Dick Van Dyke is maintaining his signature wit ahead of a milestone birthday.

The "Mary Poppins" star, 99, cracked a dark joke about his upcoming 100th birthday while attending a Vandy High Tea event in Malibu, California, on Oct. 5, according to People magazine.

"I'm not officially a hundred until December," he noted, per the outlet. "Two months. Two months. It'd be funny if I didn't make it."

Van Dyke attended the event, which raised money for the Van Dyke Endowment of the Arts and Dick Van Dyke Museum, alongside his wife, Arlene. When a fan asked him his secret to looking young, he pointed to his wife and said the secret was "right here beside me," according to a video from the event shared on Instagram.
