Eric Dane Reveals Als Diagnosis
Actor Eric Dane has revealed that he’s been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Als).
In a statement issued to People, Dane said, “I have been diagnosed with Als. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.”
Dane also expressed that he feels “fortunate” to be able to continue working at this time. He said he’s “looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,” before concluding, “I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”
