Dancing barefoot in the backyard of his home in Malibu, California, the 98-year-old is the focus of British rock band Coldplay's latest music video, All My Love.
Van Dyke, who starred in American sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show from 1961 to 1966 and danced his way through the film Mary Poppins in 1964, pulls out some of his signature dance moves while the band's frontman, Chris Martin, plays an upright piano.
The video, directed by filmmakers Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore, was filmed in October. A director's cut that lasts more than seven minutes came out on Dec 6, and a shorter version will be released on Dec 13, Van Dyke's 99th birthday.
