ALS Diagnosis Doesn't Signify the End for Eric Dane
American actor and father of two, Eric Dane, recently revealed in an emotional interview with Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America" that he's been battling ALS since April. In the looming interview, set to air soon, Dane displays a mix of determination and somber reflections on his daily struggles.
"It's a tough pill to swallow, but it ain't my last call," explains the 52-year-old, demonstrating remarkable resilience. He admits that his mind is occupied with thoughts of the disease, each wakeful moment a reminder of his grim reality. "Every f*ckin' day, I wake up with a sinking feeling," he says, grappling with the continuous blow of his diagnosis.
Dane, a familiar face on shows like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Euphoria," doesn't believe that this affliction marks the end of his story. "I don't see this as my final chapter," he declares in the interview, tears welling up in his eyes.
At one point, Dane becomes visibly emotional when asked who he reached out to after learning about his diagnosis.
Focus on Family and Career
In the disclosure of his illness back in April, Dane admitted his gratitude for his loving family to support him during this challenging period[1][2]. Despite the challenges of ALS, he expressed his wish to remain a part of the "Euphoria" cast and resume filming the show's third season. "I might be f*ckin' sick, but I'm still rollin'," he said, displaying an inspiring attitude towards maintaining his professional life.
The ensuing months have proven just that, with Dane continuing to grace the "Euphoria" set, illustrating an admirable spirit of determination in the face of adversity.
