In a rather unexpected collaboration for a single off the new Coldplay album, Chris Martin teamed up with Dick Van Dyke for a music video just before one of the danciest stars in Hollywood turns 99 years old.

‘All My Love’ is a single from the LP Moon Music released in October, and in a 7-minute director’s cut, the Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star talks about love, life, being silly, and growing old, all before his birthday on December 13th.

The music video was filmed at Van Dyke’s Malibu home, and features a shoeless Martin playing piano and singing while Dick does what Dick does—dancing.

On December 5th, Van Dyke and Martin appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to preview a clip of the video and discuss their collaboration.

Martin said Mary Poppins was his “number 1” film, and despite living just 8 miles from Van Dyke, had never met him before. Martin and the director of the music video Spike Jonze, were brainstorming ideas about a theme for the song, and the idea of Van Dyke came up.

“I said, ‘We’re looking for an old guy. Who’s the oldest guy?’” quipped Martin.

Van Dyke admitted that when someone told him Chris Martin was on the phone, he asked “Who’s that?”

In June, Van Dyke became the oldest Daytime Emmy winner ever when he was awarded for his guest role on the endless soap opera Days of Our Lives.

“I feel like a spy from nighttime television,” the actor said in his acceptance speech. “I’m the oldest nominee in history. I can’t believe it. I was playing old men all my life. If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!”
