Dick Van Dyke is probably the toughest 82-year-old guy around, or maybe just the funniest.A few days ago he flattered to have his picture snapped by a paparazzo in Malibu, where an anti-paparazzi law is in the mix.
Van Dyke wrote a letter to the local newspaper claiming he laid the smackdown.
Editor: Monday morning as I was leaving the supermarket with my Raisin Bran and prunes, out of the corner of my eye, I caught the flash of a camera. Sure enough, it was paparazzi. Or maybe paparazzo, it was just the one guy. I suppose Monday is a slow day for celebrity watching. But still, he knew me! He saw beyond the white hair, the wrinkles and the pot belly. He saw a celebrity under there! I have to admit I was flattered by the attention. Did me a lot of good. However, out of respect for my fellow celebrities, I decked him anyway. Dick Van Dyke
