The anatomy actor of Euphoria and Gray, Eric Dane, revealed that he had received a diagnosis of motor neurons.
The 52 -year -old man who played Dr. Mark Sloan, or “McSteamy”, in Gray’s Anatomy and is currently plays Cal Jacobs in euphoria, confirmed to People magazine that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic side sclerosis (SLA), a type of motonist disease.
“I was diagnosed with SLA. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side while we sail in this next chapter,” he said.
Dane said he would continue in his role as Cal Jacobs for season three of Euphoria despite everything. The new season of the acclaimed HBO drama is now in production and will be broadcast in 2026.
“I feel lucky that I can continue to work and I can’t wait to go back to a set of euphoria next week,” he told people. “I kindly ask you to give my family and myself during this period.”
ALS is the most common form of motor neurons disease, which means that the terms are often used interchangeably. It is a terminal degenerative disorder that leads people to lose the use of their members and their ability to speak, to swallow and ultimately breathe independently.
There is no remedy; People with motorcycleur disease die, on average, 27 months after diagnosis, but some patients can live decades – like Stephen Hawking, who was diagnosed with a form of the fight against the disease at the age of 21 and lived up to 76 years.
He is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease in North America, named after the Yankees baseball player who was diagnosed with the condition in 1939.
The other famous names that have been diagnosed with motor neurons include David Niven and Roberta Flack.
Dane is married to the actor and model Rebecca Gayheart and the couple has two children.
