Eric Dane, known for his roles in Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria, has been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The 52-year-old actor shared his diagnosis on April 10, expressing gratitude for his family’s support. Despite his condition, Dane plans to return to the set of Euphoria on April 14. ALS is a degenerative disease that progressively paralyzes muscles, starting with twitching or weakness in a limb and often leading to slurred speech. According to the Mayo Clinic, the disease affects nerve cells in the brain and spine, causing patients to lose their ability to speak, eat, walk, and breathe independently. The Muscular Dystrophy Association reports that 50% of ALS patients survive only three to five years after diagnosis, though some may live for decades. Other celebrities diagnosed with ALS include Aaron Lazar, John Driskell Hopkins, Eric Stevens, Joe Bonsall, Roberta Flack, Kenneth Mitchell, and Stephen Hawking.
