The 99-year-old star has been a Hollywood mainstay for decades, first rising to notoriety working in radio and on stage, before going on to star in popular shows such as The Dick Van Dyke Show and movies including Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
“I almost did [become James Bond],” he said.
Van Dyke went on to add that, while he believes playing the iconic spy would “have been a great experience”, he doesn’t think audiences would have “accepted” his departure from the family-friendly roles he was known for at the time.
