Dick Van Dyke still sings and dances at 99: What you can learn from him about living a long, happy and healthy life
Just before his 99th birthday, icon Dick Van Dyke starred in Coldplay's recent music video for the song "All My Love."
The Directors' Cut version of the video resembles a mini-documentary with interview clips and photos that span Van Dyke's decades-long career as an actor and comedian.
Van Dyke, who turned 99 today, appears in the video dancing barefoot and singing alongside lead singer Chris Martin in the backyard of his home in Malibu.
The entertainer's family, including his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, walk into frame and dance with him, too.
"I'm acutely aware that I could go any day now," Van Dyke said.
"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."
