Dick Van Dyke touched on a Coldplay video filmed in a Malibu home he had to escape from

It’s been a big week for Dick Van Dyke.

He was 99 years old. A Coldplay music video starring him was released. And he had to leave his home because of the Malibu wildfire.

Van Dyke said in a Facebook post that he and his wife, Arlene Silver, evacuated their home in the Serra Retreat neighborhood of lower Malibu Canyon because of the Franklin Fire with help from neighbors.

He said they managed to round up all of their pets except for a cat named Bobo; A family friend later said on social media that Bobo had been found safe.

Van Dyke’s home is the setting for the Coldplay video, which was released on Friday, December 13, the actor’s 99th birthday. While Coldplay’s Chris Martin plays the piano and sings “All My Love,” Van Dyke dances barefoot on the patio.

An extended version of the video, directed by Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore, includes more scenes of Van Dyke’s iconic work in film and television, as well as images of memorabilia in the house.
