In a charming new Coldplay video for the band’s song “All My Love,” comedy legend Dick Van Dyke takes center stage – on his Malibu patio – and shares his thoughts on his long life (he turns 99 on December 13) and mortality.

“I’m acutely aware that I, you know, could go any day now,” Van Dyke says in the video directed by Spike Jonze & Mary Wigmore, “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 gonna be alright.”

In addition to recent footage of Van Dyke chatting with the piano-playing Coldplay singer Chris Martin – it was shot in October – the “All My Love” video makes copious use of brief clips from throughout the comic’s career, with quick glimpses of his classic ’60s sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show, his movies Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins, and an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.

The camera also captures the career-spanning memorabilia that fills his Malibu home, from a sweet, framed photo of Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore to toy versions of his chimneysweep Mary Poppins characters.

Van Dyke’s large family also makes an appearance towards the end, and one of the most touching moments comes when he dances with his wife Arlene Silver.

“I think I’m one of those lucky people who got to do for a living what I would have done anyway,” he says. “When you think how lucky I am, I got to do what I do — play and act silly.”

“All My Love” appears on Coldplay’s 10th studio album Moon Music, out now.
