Glover shared during the interview, which aired on Wednesday, that the disease has slowed his speech, movement, and memory.
“I could live with it, in a sense,” the Lethal Weapon actor said, adding, “things are going to be different and changing.”

Glover credited his strong family who have stepped to support him, sharing, “They’ve got my back.”
During a separate chat with People, his daughter, Mandisa, admitted that the disease is “depressing” for her father, explaining, “It’s a change in the core of who you think you are or don’t think you are.
The veteran screen star’s brother, Marty, added, “We just want him to live his best life like he made us live ours.”
Yet Glover remains positive amid his battle, as he noted, “I still have my daughter, I have friends. I want to just say, your life continues.”
