[57]Dick Van Dyke was seen giving out wads of cash to [58]job seekers
in [59]Malibu.

The 95-year-old actor gave back to members of his community on Tuesday
(30 March) while running errands.

After stopping by a bank to withdraw money from an ATM, Van Dyke
visited the Malibu Community Labour Exchange, a non-profit organisation
that helps out-of-work people find local jobs.

Parking his car outside the facility, the Mary Poppins star then handed
out piles of bills to people waiting in line, at a time when the
coronavirus pandemic has left many people unemployed. It is unknown how
much money he gave out.

Born in 1925, Van Dyke was best known for his work in the 1960s on The
Dick Van Dyke Show and in musicals such as Mary Poppins and Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang.

In 2018, he made a cameo in Disney sequel Mary Poppins Returns as Mr
Dawes, a role that he paid the company $4,000 (£2,900) to do.

“I said, ‘I’ll do it for nothing,’” Van Dyke recalled. “Actually, I had
to give him $4,000. I had to pay him to do the part.”
