Actor and activist Danny Glover, best known for starring as an easygoing police officer in the "Lethal Weapon" franchise, has revealed he has Alzheimer's disease.
The four-time Emmy Award nominee, who turns 80 on July 22, told "Today" and 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," 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."
More than 6 million people in the United States and millions more around the world have Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia.

So sorry to hear. I've always liked him.
