Eric Dane Opens Up About ALS Diagnosis in First Interview

Eric Dane Opens Up About ALS Diagnosis in First Interview

Eric Dane is speaking out for the first time since going public with his ALS diagnosis.

The Grey’s Anatomy alum, 52, revealed in April that he’s battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a rare and incurable neurological condition that progressively weakens muscles and affects physical function. 

The heartbreaking health news came shortly after Dane and his estranged wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, 53, decided to call off their divorce after seven years apart.  

The pair share two daughters — Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13.

On Thursday, Dane appeared in a teaser for an upcoming Good Morning America interview with Diane Sawyer, offering a deeply personal glimpse into how he’s coping with the diagnosis.

‘I wake up every day and I’m immediately reminded that this is happening,’ he told Sawyer. ‘It’s not a dream.’

At one point, Eric Dane is seen walking alongside Diane Sawyer under the sun, their conversation taking a deeply personal turn. 

The actor becomes visibly emotional, wiping away tears as he opens up — yet he also shares a sense of hope, declaring, ‘I don’t think this is the end of my story. I don’t feel like this is the end of me.’
