Eric Dane Diagnosed with ALS, Requests Privacy

Eric Dane, known for his roles in Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria, has announced that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease. In his statement, he expressed gratitude for his supportive family and shared his intention to continue working, looking forward to returning to the set of Euphoria next week. The news comes shortly after he and his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, called off their divorce, indicating a commitment to family during this challenging time. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis, with an average life expectancy of two to five years post-diagnosis. Dane's announcement has brought significant attention to ALS, a condition that remains incurable and often progresses rapidly. He has requested privacy for his family as they navigate this next chapter in their lives.
