Dick Van Dyke, 99, Rocks It in Coldplay Video

National treasure Dick Van Dyke, 99, and the ultimate super ager is embracing his inner rock star.

Van Dyke makes a showstopping appearance in the director’s cut of the music video for Coldplay’s 2024 single, “All My Love.” 

The video, directed by Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore, puts Van Dyke front and center as he reflects on life, love and aging from the comfort of his Malibu home.. 

“What is love? Boy, they’ve been attacking that question for centuries. I don’t know,” Van Dyke says in the video, filmed in October. “It certainly is a feeling of caring about the welfare and the life of the other person as much as you care for yourself.”

The video is a celebration of Van Dyke, who’s delighted audiences for decades with starring roles in Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Dick Van Dyke Show. There are flashbacks to his iconic roles, B-roll filled with old photos from a life well lived, and loving shots of his family gathered at his California home. Van Dyke also doesn’t shy away from the elephant in the room.

“I’m acutely aware that I’m, you know, could go any day now, but I don’t know why it doesn’t concern me,” he explains. “I’m not afraid of it. I have that feeling, totally against anything intellectual, that I’m going to be all right.”

Van Dyke hits a high note with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

In another interview portion of the music video, Van Dyke shares how lucky he feels to have been able to “play and act silly” for a living. And if you had any doubts about whether the charming 98-year-old could still get his groove on, consider yourself humbled. There are multiple shots of Van Dyke doing some of his signature dance moves with bare feet and a smile that are sure to brighten anyone’s day. A shorter version of the seven-minute director’s cut will be released Friday.
