Hollywood actor Danny Glover, has revealed he has Alzheimer’s disease, but says he has refused to accept it in his mind.
The four-time Emmy Award nominee, who turns 80 on July 22, told People magazine that he was diagnosed with the progressive, memory-destroying disease three years ago.
“I’m still not accepting in my mind all parts of it. 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”, he told People magazine.
Glover is best known for starring as an easygoing police officer in the “Lethal Weapon” franchise.
Millions of people around the world have Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia.
Glover earned four Emmy Award nominations, and an honorary Oscar in 2022. Other awards came from the NAACP and Black Entertainment Television, and he’s received nominations from the Screen Actors Guild.
Glover also served as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Program from 1998 to 2004. It focuses on poverty, disease and economic development in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.
