Actor Eric Dane was diagnosed with ALS in April. The Grey’s Anatomy star has been very outspoken about the disease and revealed how the first symptoms showed. Now, his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, has revealed new details about her husband’s ALS, and when she first noticed things weren’t as usual.
Eric Dane was diagnosed with ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, in April this year. In a statement to People Magazine at the time, he said, “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter,”.
The former Grey’s Anatomy star called ALS “nasty” in an October interview. He was set to appear at their reunion at the Emmy Awards, but sadly, Dane had to cancel after a bad fall that hospitalized him.
“ALS is a nasty disease,” he said. “So I was in the hospital during the Emmys getting stitches put in my head.”
