Although the 78-year-old acknowledged that he was “pragmatic” about the possibility that his illness may worsen, he maintained that he was working to “remain positive” and “as independent as I can” for as long as feasible.
Because of his work on shows like Newsnight, Panorama, and News Hour, Stapleton is well-known to television viewers.
He stated in an interview onLive: “I’ve made a life for the better part of 50 years by speaking.
Sometimes, especially when people are often saying,’sorry, what did you say?’, it may be really annoying.
Regarding the possibility that this will worsen, I am rather realistic. I make an effort to maintain my optimism since there’s no benefit in not being.
The prognosis was “really upsetting,” according to Stapleton’s son Nick, but it was not shocking because his grandmother had the same disease.
According to the NHS website, tremors and slow movement are indications of Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which sections of the brain gradually deteriorate over many years.
