**Interviewer:** Welcome back to the show! Today we’re celebrating a true icon, the legendary Dick Van Dyke, who turns 99 years young today. And what a birthday gift he’s given us – a starring role in Coldplay’s new music video for “All My Love”! Dick, happy birthday! Tell us, how did this incredible collaboration come about?
**Dick Van Dyke:** (Smiling) Well, thank you so much! This whole thing came out of the blue, really. I got a call from Spike Jonze, the director, who’s a wonderful man. He told me Coldplay wanted me to be in their video, and I thought, “Why not?” I’ve always loved music and dancing, and this song is so joyful and full of life. It was a blast to film!

**Interviewer:** The video looks amazing. Can you tell us a bit about it?
**Dick Van Dyke:** It was a lot of fun filming. Mary Wigmore, another fantastic director, worked with Spike on it. We filmed it back in October, and it was just a really positive experience. It’s a simple idea but so effective – me dancing with a bunch of kids and some lights. It captures the spirit of the song perfectly, which is all about love and connection.
**Interviewer:** Absolutely. Seeing you dance at 99 is truly inspiring. What advice would you give to people about staying young at heart?
**Dick Van Dyke:** (Chuckles) Keep moving! Find something you love and do it with passion. And don’t be afraid to try new things. You’re never too old to learn or have fun.
**Interviewer:** Wise words from a true legend. Dick Van Dyke, everyone! Happy 99th birthday!
