Hollywood actor Danny Glover reveals he has Alzheimer's disease

Hollywood actor Danny Glover has revealed he has Alzheimer's disease.

The 79-year-old told People magazine and NBC show Today that he had been diagnosed with the progressive, memory-destroying illness three years ago.

"I'm still not accepting in my mind all parts of it," he told People magazine.

"There are the moments that you keep remembering that validate the fact that you can remember stuff. And there are moments I'll never forget."

The star is best known for his role as Sergeant Roger Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon film series, alongside Mel Gibson.

Glover earned four Emmy Award nominations and an honorary Oscar in 2022.

Other awards came from the NAACP and Black Entertainment Television, and he received nominations from the Screen Actors Guild.
