Lethal Weapon star Danny Glover has revealed he is living with Alzheimer's disease, telling viewers in a pre-recorded interview on NBC's Today show on Wednesday that he received the diagnosis in 2023, a year after he was given an honorary Oscar in the United States.
The 79-year-old actor, best known for playing veteran detective Roger Murtaugh opposite Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon films and for his role in The Color Purple, had continued to appear in public and at fan events without speaking about his health. The announcement ends months of quiet speculation around his memory, and places Glover among the growing number of high-profile figures choosing to go public with Alzheimer's.
