It was a big week for Dick Van Dyke.
He turned 99. A Coldplay music video in which he stars was released. And he had to flee his home because of the Malibu wildfire.
Van Dyke said in a Facebook post that, with the help of neighbors, he and wife Arlene Silver evacuated their home in the Serra Retreat neighborhood, in lower Malibu Canyon, because of the Franklin Fire.
He said they managed to round up all 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 house is the setting of the Coldplay video released on Friday, Dec. 13 — the actor’s 99th birthday. As Coldplay’s Chris Martin plays the piano and sings “All My Love,” Van Dyke dances barefoot on the patio.
An expanded version of the video, directed by Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore, includes more scenes of Van Dyke’s iconic work in movies and television as well as images of memorabilia in the home.
