The phrase “They don’t make ’em like they used to” has never proven truer than when it comes to legendary, 100-plus-year-old actor and comedian Dick Van Dyke.

The “Mary Poppins” star, who turns 99 next week, appears in a brand new long-form music video for the Coldplay song “All My Love,” premiering Friday. Van Dyke is in top form on the project – dancing barefoot, singing alongside Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and even performing physical comedy.

Filmed at Van Dyke’s home in Malibu, California, the video is interspersed with old photos and props from the popular entertainer’s seven-decade career, including publicity photos with Mary Tyler Moore for “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and one of his four primetime Emmys -Statuettes.

At one point, Van Dyke notes that his favorite lyric in “All My Love” – ​​from Coldplay’s tenth studio album Moon Music – is “Until I die, let me hold you when you cry.” In an interview he says: “I am fully aware that I could leave any day now, but I don’t know why, it’s none of my business, I’m not afraid of it. I have the feeling, completely against everything intellectual, that I will be fine.”

Van Dyke is then seen on the dance floor with his wife, makeup artist Arlene Silver, engaging in choreography in matching bowler hats before the rest of his “extended family” joins them for photos and camaraderie.

The funnyman also shows that he still has a sharp sense of humor when the interviewer asks him to close his eyes and think about all the people who have meant something to him throughout his life. After a pause with his eyes closed, Van Dyke says, “I’m too old for this, I’m going to pass out and fall asleep,” as he nods off in his chair.

Elsewhere, the “Tschitti Tschitti Bang Bang” actor holds a bunch of red balloons in his hand and, for a moment, quite convincingly pretends to float away.

“I think I’m one of those lucky people who was able to make a living doing what I would have done anyway,” Van Dyke notes in the clip as scenes from his film career play out. “Considering how lucky I am – I get to do what I do, play and act silly.”

A shorter version of the music video will be released on Friday, December 13th, in celebration of Van Dyke’s 99th birthday.
