When most people picture Dick Van Dyke, they see a man suspended in time. Whether he’s dancing across rooftops in Mary Poppins or cracking jokes on The Dick Van Dyke Show, his charm is unforgettable.
Even at nearly 99 years old, Van Dyke hasn’t lost his spark. His performances may look a little different now, but that hasn’t stopped him from continuing to amaze and delight us in unexpected ways.
Not long ago, Dick Van Dyke stepped back into the limelight in a heartwarming way that reminded us all why we adore him. He appeared in Coldplay’s newest music video, filmed right from his cozy home in Malibu.
In the video, he looks back on his journey and opens up about growing older. “I’m very aware that my time could come any day now,” he says. “But oddly, it doesn’t bother me. I’m not scared of it.”
The video is artfully crafted — more of an intimate glimpse into Van Dyke’s world than a typical Coldplay music clip. At one touching moment, he even breaks into ‘The Twizzle,’ a dance he first performed on The Dick Van Dyke Show.
Dick Van Dyke also pays a heartfelt tribute to his children, holding a cherished photo of young Stacy in his hands. He shares that she often visits him in his dreams, bringing him peace—and before long, his whole family comes out to stand beside him.
There are countless reasons to adore Dick Van Dyke, but this video captures every single one in the most touching way.
