- Chris Martin and Van Dyke shared a preview on a popular late-night show.
In a delightful twist of creativity, Chris Martin of Coldplay has collaborated with the legendary Dick Van Dyke for a music video, coinciding with Van Dyke’s 99th birthday celebration.
The single, “All My Love,” from Coldplay’s latest album, Moon Music, is accompanied by a 7-minute director’s cut video.
In it, the beloved star of Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang reflects on themes of love, life, and the joys of growing older.
The video, shot at Van Dyke’s Malibu residence, captures a barefoot Martin at the piano while Van Dyke showcases his timeless flair for dance.
On December 5th, the duo appeared on a late-night show to offer a sneak peek of their collaboration and share their experience.
Martin expressed his admiration for Mary Poppins, calling it his “number 1” film, and revealed that despite living just 8 miles apart, he had never met Van Dyke before.
As Martin and the music video director, Spike Jonze, brainstormed ideas, Van Dyke’s name naturally surfaced.
“I said, ‘We’re looking for an old guy. Who’s the oldest guy?’” Martin humorously recalled.
Van Dyke, with his characteristic wit, admitted that upon hearing Chris Martin was on the line, he wondered, “Who’s that?”
Earlier in June, Van Dyke made history as the oldest Daytime Emmy winner for his guest role on Days of Our Lives.
“I feel like a spy from nighttime television,” he joked during his acceptance speech.
“I’m the oldest nominee in history. I can’t believe it. I was playing old men all my life. If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!”
This charming collaboration between two cherished performers is sure to bring a smile to many faces.
