Dick Van Dyke, 98, reveals presidential endorsement in rare social media appearance


Dick Van Dyke surprised fans with a rare social media appearance on Monday as he shared his endorsement in the 2024 presidential race - just one day before Tuesday's election.

The 98-year-old acting icon — who recently sparked concerns after he was forced to cancel his first appearance outside of Los Angeles in months — addressed the camera in a stark black-and-white clip shared on his Instagram page. 'Fifty years ago — May 31st, 1964 — I was on the podium with Dr. Martin Luther King, who was addressing some 60,000 people in the Colosseum in LA, and I was there to read a message written by Rod Serling,' he said, referencing the Twilight Zone creator and scribe. They are the infectious and contagious viruses that have been breeding humanity for years,' he said as he read the words of Serling, who was known for his liberal politics, which included his support for anti-war politicians and his devotion to combating racism, both in his personal life and in his allegorical scripts for The Twilight Zone and other television series.
