Eric Dane is making headlines—not for a new role, but for his health. In an interview with People, the actor revealed, “I have been diagnosed with ALS.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) “is a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS causes loss of muscle control. The disease gets worse over time.”
Eric added, “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.”
He was born on November 9, 1972, in San Francisco, California.
He is the proud father of two daughters, Billie and Georgia.
Eric has been married to actress and model Rebecca Gayheart since 2004. Although they’ve had ups and downs—including filing for divorce, which was later dismissed—the two remain connected through their children.
