Dick Van Dyke, the beloved 99-year-old Hollywood icon, shares his lifetime of joy and wisdom in Coldplay’s music video ‘All My Love,’ where he dances and sings with frontman Chris Martin while reflecting on his remarkable journey.
God gives us special people who show us how to live life with grace and gratitude. When someone like Dick Van Dyke continues to spread happiness and maintain such a positive outlook at 99, we see a beautiful example of making every moment count. His appearance in this touching video reminds us that age is just a number when your heart stays young.
The seven-minute video takes us through Van Dyke’s beautiful Malibu home, where awards and memorabilia tell the story of his eight decades in entertainment.
As he walks along the hallway toward a lamp lit patio, we see the legacy of his work through statues of characters that made millions smile. Chris Martin waits at the piano, ready to accompany this living legend.
The video blends present day scenes with treasured photographs from Van Dyke’s past. Even at 99, he moves with amazing energy, wearing a beige suit with a shirt and tie but no shoes.
Van Dyke recreates his famous headless man dance move and twirls around the patio like someone who never forgot how to have fun.
Van Dyke speaks about love in a way that touches the heart: “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 shares a special family photo with pride, pointing out his children Carrie Beth, Christian, Barry, and Stacy from their early days in California after moving from West Plains, Missouri.
The camera captures sweet moments between Van Dyke and his wife Arlene Silver as they dance together. He looks back on his career with thankfulness, saying, “Think how lucky I am. I got to do what I do – play and act silly.”
Van Dyke talks about facing the future with peace: “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.”
The video shows a beautiful family gathering with his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren sharing hugs and laughter.
Chris Martin ends the video by creating a spontaneous song about getting older while Van Dyke watches with delight. “Do you believe this man?” Van Dyke asks with genuine amazement, “He just wrote a song!”
In recent months, Van Dyke and Arlene faced challenges when California fires forced them to leave their home in December 2024. They returned to their property, which Arlene calls “Vandy Manor,” in January 2025. The fires only damaged their guest house.
Dick Van Dyke shows us that life gets better when we choose joy and keep faith in our hearts. His trust in God’s plan, even when talking about life’s final chapter, gives us hope and courage to face our own challenges.
