Eric Dane Reveals His Right Arm No Longer Works Amid ALS Battle

"I feel like maybe a couple, few more months, and I won't have my left hand either," the 'Grey's Anatomy' alum said, adding that he worried about losing the use of his legs, in a sobering interview that aired on Monday's 'Good Morning America.'

Eric Dane just revealed in April that he’d been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but he’s already lost function in his right arm and worries about weakness on his left side and in his legs. The neurological disorder, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects motor neurons, a type of nerve cell in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement and breathing, according to the National Institutes of Health. Dane, who plays Cal Jacobs on Euphoria and stars in the upcoming Prime Video police thriller Countdown, was focused on his family as he talked to Sawyer and said he wants to work as long as he’s able.
