Dane, 52, revealed his diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis, a progressive disease that attacks nerve cells
controlling muscles throughout the body and is also known as Lou
Gehrig’s disease, in an interview with People magazine on
Thursday.
“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am
looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,” he
said. “I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during
this time.”
The 52-year-old actor is married to actor Rebecca Gayheart and
the couple share two children, Billie Beatrice, 15, and Georgia
Geraldine, 13. Gayheart filed for divorce in 2018, but filed to
dismiss the petition earlier this year, news outlets reported.
“Euphoria” is set to resume shooting this month. Dane's
publicist did not immediately return a message from The
Associated Press.
ALS gradually destroys the nerve cells and connections needed to
walk, talk, speak and breathe. Most patients die within three to
five years of a diagnosis.
