Samuel L. Jackson fears that he'll follow in the footsteps of so many relatives who have succumbed to Alzheimer's disease.
The movie star attends as many fundraisers for the condition as he can because he's convinced he'll be diagnosed with dementia before he dies, Contactmusic reported.
He said that his grandfather had Alzheimer's, as well his maternal and paternal grandmothers.

He told Playboy that he is going to do all he can to help people because of that.
