The marriage met in SAG Awards in 2006 when she was working as a makeup artist. They got married in 2012 and have been together ever since!
“I remember seeing Dick at the catering table with his bow tie and his big smile. Just when I sat down, he was sitting next to me. He said, “Hello, I’m Dick.” The first thing I asked him was, ‘Didn’t you act in Mary Poppins?’ He wasn’t sure. (Laughs) I knew who he was, but I wasn’t sure why I knew who he was. I wasn’t familiar with all of his work. He has so much work I can’t believe he missed it,” he told the Huffington Post.
Dick and Arlene have a 46-year age difference, and when they married in 2012, she was 40 and he was 86. Today, they are 52 and 98, respectively.
Dick once addressed the age difference by saying, “Emotionally I’m about 13. She’s very wise beyond her years, so I’m having the time of my life.”
Arlene responded to those comments by telling the Huffington Post: “It’s so funny. He’s not immature in a bad way. He’s immature in a good way with the wonder of a child. He’s just fun, open-minded. He’s not stuck in his ways at all. We are both like children. “We feel like we are both having a second childhood.”
Dick and Arlene aren’t the only celebrity couple who has a big age difference. See what other celebrity couples are part of the club!
