DANNY GLOVER OPENS UP: LETHAL WEAPON LEGEND SHARES ALZHEIMER'S BATTLE
The beloved action icon reveals his 2022 diagnosis on Today, and he's facing it with grace as his 80th birthday approaches.
Danny Glover is being real about his health journey. The Lethal Weapon star sat down with Today's Lester Holt in July to share that he's been living with Alzheimer's disease since receiving a diagnosis in 2022—just months after scoring an honorary Oscar. Talk about a gut punch!
But here's the thing: Glover isn't letting it define him. "I can live with it in a sense," the legend told Holt, showing the same cool composure that made Roger Murtaugh such an icon. "I'm sure as it advances, different things will be different and changing." It's honest, it's hopeful, and it's very Danny.
The 79-year-old action hero—who's also starred in The Color Purple, Predator, Dreamgirls, and Sorry to Bother You—has his family by his side as he navigates what's ahead. With his 80th birthday on the horizon, Glover's opening up about his diagnosis is a gift to fans everywhere: a reminder that even legends face real battles, and grace under pressure is always in style.
We're rooting for you, Danny!
