Coldplay’s New Video Features a Legendary Cameo by Dick Van Dyke

Coldplay’s latest music video for “All My Love” dropped this weekend, and it’s already making waves—not just for the song, but for its incredible guest star: the iconic 98-year-old Dick Van Dyke.

The video is a heartfelt tribute to Van Dyke’s legendary career and life. It showcases clips from his decades in show business, highlights his timeless charisma, and even includes interview moments where he reflects on aging. In one touching moment, Van Dyke 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.”

The video’s finale is especially memorable. Sitting beside Coldplay’s Chris Martin at a piano, Van Dyke is asked for a good subject for a song. His response? “Old age.” Without missing a beat, Chris starts crafting a melody right there, creating a beautiful and spontaneous moment.

Van Dyke will celebrate his 99th birthday this Friday, December 13th, and the video serves as both a celebration of his legacy and a poignant reminder of his enduring vibrancy and optimism.
