Overview
- Glover publicly disclosed his Alzheimer’s diagnosis on Wednesday in interviews with NBC’s Today and People.
- He says doctors diagnosed him in 2023 and that the disease has already slowed his movement, speech and memory.
- Family members first noticed changes in 2022 and pressed him to speak so he could control how his condition is told.
- Glover remains active in public life, is supported by family and caregivers, and plans to work with the Alzheimer's Association as he and his doctors review treatment and care options.
- The family’s disclosure aims to raise awareness and reduce stigma at a moment when the Alzheimer's Association stresses that cognitive decline can begin years before diagnosis and that lifestyle and medical steps may help manage risk and quality of life.
