Actor Danny Glover, 79, says he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Some coverage also links his disclosure to his recent public recognition, including an honorary Oscar in 2022, though the specific timing details vary by outlet. Overall, the reports present a consistent account of Glover’s diagnosis and his description of living with the disease.
