At 99 years young, entertainment legend Dick Van Dyke proves that the spirit of dance and joy knows no age limit in Coldplay’s touching new music video ‘All My Love.’ The seven-minute masterpiece, filmed at Van Dyke’s Malibu residence, offers an intimate glimpse into the life and philosophy of one of Hollywood’s most enduring stars as he partners with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for an unforgettable musical collaboration.
A dance through time
The video takes viewers on a nostalgic journey through Van Dyke’s illustrious eight-decade career, showcasing his awards and memorabilia while capturing new moments of his still-vibrant performance energy. Dressed in a beige suit and tie but characteristically shoeless, Van Dyke demonstrates his legendary moves, including his famous headless man dance, with remarkable vitality.
In touching scenes, Van Dyke shares personal moments with his wife Arlene Silver, while family photographs reveal precious memories of his children Carrie Beth, Christian, Barry, and Stacy from their early California days after relocating from West Plains, Missouri.
Reflections on love and life
Throughout the video, Van Dyke offers profound insights into his life philosophy. “It certainly is a feeling of caring about the welfare and the life of the other person as much as you care for yourself,” he says, discussing the nature of love. Reflecting on his career, he shares with gratitude, “Think how lucky I am. I got to do what I do – play and act silly.”
With remarkable serenity, Van Dyke addresses mortality: “I’m acutely aware that I could go any day now. But I don’t know why it doesn’t concern me. I’m not afraid of it. I have that feeling, totally against anything intellectual, that I’m going to be alright.”
Recent challenges and ongoing joy
The video’s release follows a challenging period for Van Dyke and his wife Arlene, who were temporarily displaced by California fires in December 2024. They returned to their beloved “Vandy Manor” in January 2025, with damage fortunately limited to their guest house.
The video concludes with a heartwarming moment as Chris Martin improvises a song about aging, prompting Van Dyke to exclaim with genuine wonder, “Do you believe this man? He just wrote a song!”
