Last year, Eric Dane shared his ALS diagnosis. In the Good Morning America show, the actor stated, "I wake up every day, and I'm immediately reminded that this is happening. It's not a dream. I don't think this is the end of my story. I don't feel like this is the end of me."
Prior to this, Dane had said about ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), “I'm grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter. I feel fortunate that I can continue working and am looking forward to returning to the set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and me privacy during this time.”
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells (motor neurons) in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis. It is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The disease progresses gradually, causing symptoms to worsen over time. Currently, there is no cure for ALS, but treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
