He may be a century old but the star is still fighting fit according to his son Michael:

"He still has a trainer. He works out with a trainer at 101. I remember when Dad was 90 and he had a guy that he worked out with for more than 30 years, 40 years, Mike Abrams."

The actor added:

"I went to see Dad one day, he was 90 and wasn’t feeling so good. I said, 'Dad, what’s wrong? You don’t look good.' He said, 'Ah, Mike died.' I said, 'Ah, Dad I’m so sorry. Mike died? How old was Mike, Dad?' '94'."
