Eric Dane Tears Up About ALS Diagnosis, Only Has ‘One Functioning Arm’
SHARE

Eric Dane, known for his roles in “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Euphoria,” recently revealed his battle with ALS in a heartfelt interview on “Good Morning America” with Diane Sawyer. The 52-year-old actor shared the devastating news that he now only has the use of one functioning arm, as the disease has progressed rapidly.

Dane explained that his left side is currently the only side functioning, but even that arm is weakening. He expressed his fear that in a matter of months, he may lose the ability to use his left hand as well. The actor first noticed symptoms a year and a half ago when he began experiencing weakness in his right hand, which he initially attributed to overuse or fatigue.

After nine months of testing, Dane received the diagnosis of ALS in April. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a fatal and progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects the nerves in the body, leading to muscle weakness and eventual paralysis. There is currently no cure for the disease, making Dane’s prognosis particularly difficult to accept.

The actor opened up about the emotional toll of the diagnosis, admitting that the reality of living with ALS is a constant weight on his mind. Despite the challenges he faces, Dane finds strength in the unwavering support of his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, and their two daughters. He credits his family for helping him navigate this difficult journey and remain optimistic about the future.

While Dane can still walk, he expressed concern about the functionality of his legs and shared a harrowing experience while snorkeling with his daughter. Struggling to swim back to the boat, he was rescued by his daughter, highlighting the impact ALS has already had on his daily life.

Despite the grim prognosis, Dane remains determined to continue acting and pursuing his passion for storytelling. He is set to return for “Euphoria” Season 3 and stars in the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series “Countdown.” While he acknowledges the limitations his condition may impose on his career, Dane is committed to making the most of his abilities and continuing to pursue his acting ambitions.

In a poignant moment during the interview, Dane expressed his anger over the diagnosis, drawing parallels to the loss of his father at a young age. He grapples with the possibility of being taken from his daughters too soon, adding a layer of heartbreak to his already challenging journey.

As Dane bravely faces the uncertain future that ALS presents, he remains hopeful and determined to make the most of every moment. His resilience and courage serve as an inspiration to all who are touched by his story. Watch Eric Dane’s full interview on “Good Morning America” for a deeper insight into his journey with ALS.
