In Coldplay's latest music video for their song "All My Love," we see the legendary actor Dick Van Dyke put on his dancing shoes. The heartwarming video, filmed at Van Dyke's Malibu home, celebrates the Hollywood icon's upcoming 99th birthday.
As Van Dyke reflects on his life and career, he shares his thoughts on aging and the concept of love. The seven-minute video begins with him walking out to the band, led by vocalist and pianist Chris Martin. Throughout the video, we see clips from Van Dyke's illustrious career, as well as heartfelt moments of him discussing love and life.
In one clip, director Spike Jonze asks Van Dyke what love means to him. The actor responds, "Boy, they've been asking that question for centuries. I don't know...it's certainly the feeling of caring about the welfare and life of the other person as much as you care for yourself."
The emotional highlight of the video comes when Van Dyke is joined by his children, grandchildren, and his wife Arlene Silver to dance barefoot in a beautiful display of love and family bonding. The video ends with Martin improvising a song for the actor, leaving Van Dyke both shocked and delighted.
After the video's release, fans took to social media to express their admiration for the "moving" and "adorable" tribute to Van Dyke's life. Many praised Coldplay for documenting the actor's legacy, while others gushed over Martin's heartfelt performance.
However, it hasn't been an easy year for Van Dyke, who had to cancel two public appearances due to health reasons. The almost 99-year-old actor shared that he is "praying to make it" to his next birthday as traveling and interacting with large crowds has become challenging for him.
Despite these setbacks, Van Dyke remains as sprightly as ever in the video, dancing his iconic "Penguin Dance" from Mary Poppins and "The Twizzle" from The Dick Van Dyke Show.
The music video for "All My Love" is not only a celebration of Van Dyke's life and career but also a reminder of the power of love and family. It is a touching tribute to an acting legend and a testament to the enduring impact he has had on people's lives.
