Dick Van Dyke is on the mend after his recent car accident.
In a video interview with The Daily Mail from his garage, the actor gave an update on his injuries.
Van Dyke said he’s feeling “pretty good, but sore all over.” He explained that the airbag “did not deploy, so I just did a faceplant right in the steering wheel.” He also showed the area of his lips where he got stitches, which have since healed.
“Other than that, [the accident] just made me a little dumber,” he joked.
When the interviewer noted that Van Dyke looks “fine now” the actor replied, “I’m 97, all my friends are dead.”
