From: X&Y

The video of The Hardest Part was shot on March 3rd, 2006 in St. Petersburg, Florida, at a yatch marina. It was directed by Mary Wigmore.

The whole clip is the result of the combination between two different videos: the first that shows two dancers (it’s a clip of short-lived 80s program Attitudes on the Lifetime network); the second that shows Coldplay during their performance of the song (this is confirmed by the different effect of the lights notable in the texture).

So, the video of the two dancers is real, it wasn’t manipulated and the old woman dances right in that way, although she is 84 (the male dancer is indeed 25).

Another version of the video was filmed. In that different version, Anthony Martin, Chris’ father, is hosted in the audience. We can imagine that audience images are belonging to the video of Coldplay performance, and not to the dancers one.
