Overview
- Glover disclosed on Wednesday that he has been living with Alzheimer’s and that the condition has caused slower speech, slowed movement, and memory loss.
- He and his daughter and brother spoke with media from his San Francisco home and said the decision to go public was meant to let Glover tell his own truth.
- Family members say Glover is supported at home by his daughter Mandisa, his brother Marty, and a team of caregivers who handle day-to-day needs.
- Glover stresses he does not view the diagnosis as the end of his life and says he intends to remain active and keep working as he is able.
- Reports vary on when the formal diagnosis occurred—accounts link it either to months after his 2022 honorary Academy award or to 2023—but coverage consistently confirms his condition, family care and public disclosure and places his case in the wider context of progressive, incurable Alzheimer’s disease.
