Eric Dane, star of ‘Euphoria’ and Grey’s Anatomy,’ reveals he has ALS
By Canadian Press on April 11, 2025.
“Euphoria” actor and former “Grey’s Anatomy” veteran Eric Dane has announced that he has ALS but will continue working.
Dane, 52, revealed his diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive disease that attacks nerve cells controlling muscles throughout the body and is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, in an interview with People magazine on Thursday.
“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,” he said. “I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”
The 52-year-old actor is married to actor Rebecca Gayheart and the couple share two children, Billie Beatrice, 15, and Georgia Geraldine, 13. Gayheart filed for divorce in 2018, but filed to dismiss the petition earlier this year, news outlets reported.
“Euphoria” is set to resume shooting this month. Dane’s publicist did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press.
ALS gradually destroys the nerve cells and connections needed to walk, talk, speak and breathe. Most patients die within three to five years of a diagnosis.

I was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS. I had weakness in my arms legs and hands. I lost all of my strength. I had to keep pliers and wrenches scattered around to open things. I couldn’t walk very far and I lost my balance easily. I had trouble swallowing and drool sometimes. It impacted all my voluntary moves. My hands shake when I eat or write. this year my family doctor decided I try alternative treatment as Riluzole caused severe side effects I started on ALS/MND protocol from uine health centre which has made my coordination issues go away. That was the biggest thing that convinced me I was on the right track. Everything before that was just small improvements and was up and down at times. I have gained strength in all muscle but my right wrist and left shoulder are the slowest to improve. My left wrist is almost back to 100%. we got the treatment from uinehealthcentre. com This is a game changer for people with ALS.
