"Lethal Weapon" star Danny Glover has said he has been living with Alzheimer's disease for several years.

In an interview that aired on Wednesday's edition of The Today Show, the 79-year-old San Francisco-born actor and activist said he got the diagnosis soon after receiving an honorary Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for his advocacy for justice and human rights, in 2022.

"I can live with it in a sense," Glover said. "I'm sure as it advances, things are going to be different and changing."

In the interview, Glover's daughter Mandisa said that by sharing his diagnosis, it was important for her father to "tell his story".
