“I’m acutely aware that I’m- you know, I could go any day now,” the treasured actor said candidly during the short film. “But I don’t know why it doesn’t concern me, I’m not afraid of it,” he added.

“I have that feeling, totally against anything intellectual I have, that I’m going to be alright."

Looking back at his career, Dick said: “I think I’m one of those lucky people who got to do for a living what I would have done anyway.

"When you think how lucky I am – I got to do what I do; play and act silly!”

Dick was joined in the music video by his family, including his wife Arlene Silver, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The actor shares his four children Christian, Barry, Stacy and Carrie Beth with his first wife Margie Willett, to whom he was married from 1948 to their divorce in 1984.

The actor was then together with the actress Michelle Triola from 1976 to her death in 2009.

He married his current wife, make-up artist Arlene in 2012 after the pair met at the SAG awards in 2006.
