The phrase they don’t make ‘em like they used to” has never proven more accurate than with respect to legendary nonagenarian actor and comedian Dick Van Dyke.
The Mary Poppins” star, who turns 99 next week, appears in a brand new longform music video for the Coldplay song All My Love,” debuting Friday. Van Dyke is in top form in the project – dancing barefoot, singing alongside Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and even performing some physical comedy.
Filmed at Van Dyke’s Malibu, California home, the video is interspersed with old photographs and props from the beloved entertainer’s seven-decade career, including publicity stills alongside Mary Tyler Moore for The Dick Van Dyke Show” and one of his four Primetime Emmy statuettes.
At one point, Van Dyke remarks that his favorite lyrics in All My Love” – off of Coldplay’s tenth studio album Moon Music” – are Until I die, let me hold you if you cry.” In an interview, he shares, 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.”
