Former Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane revealed he has been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
The 52-year-old shared the health update with People, saying, "I have been diagnosed with ALS," and adding, "I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter."
ALS, short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a degenerative neurological disorder where the symptoms worsen over time, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Dane, who has built a 30-year acting career, shot to fame amid six seasons on the hit ABC drama Grey's Anatomy, where he played Dr. Mark Sloan, affectionately known as "McSteamy."
More recently, the longtime actor portrayed Cal Jacobs, the head of the Jacobs family, on Euphoria.
Dane told People that despite his diagnosis, he's continuing to work on the hit HBO show, which begins filming its third and final season on April 14.
But Dane, often in the spotlight, is also requesting space, telling People, "I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time."
