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.”
