Grey’s Anatomy actor Eric Dane diagnosed with ALS

In a heartfelt revelation, Eric Dane, the seasoned actor celebrated for his roles in Grey’s Anatomy and HBO’s ‘Euphoria’, has disclosed his diagnosis with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). At fifty-two, Dane shared his gratitude for the unwavering support of his family during this challenging time. ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and, eventually, loss of voluntary muscle control. Despite the gravity of this diagnosis, Dane remains resolute in his commitment to his craft. He is set to return to the set of Euphoria for its third season, with filming scheduled to commence on April 14.
