‘Grey's Anatomy' Star Eric Dane Tears Up in First Interview Since Announcing ALS Diagnosis
On June 12, a teaser clip from a forthcoming Good Morning America interview with Diane Sawyer dropped, where Dane emotionally speaks about his diagnosis in his first sit-down interview since revealing the news.
'I don't think this is the end of my story,' the Grey's Anatomy star said in the clip.Eric Dane, star of Euphoria and Grey's Anatomy, is speaking out in his first interview since receiving a 'crushing' ALS diagnosis earlier this year.
Dane fought back tears while speaking to Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America about his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis in April. (The disease is also commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease.)
'I wake up every day and I'm immediately reminded that this is happening,' he said in a teaser clip shared for the interview on June 12 (via Page Six). To this, Sawyer said, 'It's not a dream,' which Dane repeated back to her.
'I don't think this is the end of my story,' he continued. 'I don't feel like this is the end of me.'
Dane revealed his diagnosis back in April, just weeks after he and wife Rebecca Gayheart called off their divorce.
Dane's full Good Morning America interview is slated to air on June 16. The couple share two children, and Gayheart filed for divorce back in February 2018; she filed documents to have the petition dismissed in March 2025. In a statement to People in April, Dane said of his ALS diagnosis, 'I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.' He also requested privacy as they figured out how to move through this next stage of their lives.
He also shared that he will reprise his role of Cal Jacobs for season 3 of Euphoria, which began filming not long after Dane announced his diagnosis.
ALS is a rare degenerative disease that has no cure; according to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, people typically live three to five years after diagnosis, although some patients can live decades.

Everything to know about 'Alien: Earth,' a spin-off of Ridley Scott's 1979 film
"Alien: Earth" is premiering Tuesday on FX Networks, and it's already creating a buzz. The series by creator Noah Hawley is described as a spin-off to the original Ridley Scott-directed film, " Alien," from 1979. The film follows a space crew aboard the starship, Nostromo, who are on their journey back home when they receive a distress call from an alien vessel. Like the science fiction horror film from Scott, Hawley told "Good Morning America" that he hopes "after every episode, you go, 'Well, I'll never do this thing again.'" "We've now put another idea in your head the same way that 'JAWS' kept people out of the ocean," he added. Here's everything to know about "Alien: Earth." What is 'Alien: Earth' about? "Alien: Earth" takes place in the year 2120. "When a mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, 'Wendy' and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat," according to a synopsis for the series. In this series, Earth is also "governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold." "In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans," the synopsis continues. "But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype, named "Wendy," marks a new dawn in the race for immortality." When Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, "Wendy" and other hybrids "encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined," the synopsis adds. Who stars in 'Alien: Earth'? Sydney Chandler plays "Wendy" in the series. Also starring in the show are Timothy Olyphant as "Kirsch," Alex Lawther as "Hermit," Samuel Blenkin as "Boy Kavalier," Babou Ceesay as "Morrow" and "Adrian Edmondson as "Atom Eins." David Rysdahl plays "Arthur Sylvia," Essie Davis plays "Dame Sylvia," Lily Newmark portrays "Nibs," Erana James portrays "Curly" and Adarsh Gourav plays "Slightly." Also starring in the series are Jonathan Ajayi as "Smee," Kit Young as "Tootles," Diêm Camille as "Siberian," Moe Bar-El as "Rashidi" and Sandra Yi Sencindiver as "Yutani." Will the Xenomorph be in the series? Direct Dana Gonzales said in an interview with the L.A. Times that the Xenomorph, the alien from the 1979 film, will return for the spin-off. "We show more of the Xenomorph than everybody else has shown," Gonzales said. ""Later on, you realize why we do that; it doesn't just become a character that's coming out of a dark hole. There's this point where it's going to be much more present. Finding that language of how to get there, it starts with the first episode of giving fans what they hope to be tuning in for." Is there a trailer? FX released the trailer for the series in June. The trailer opens with a scene from Neverland Research Island. The year is 2120 on Earth. It introduces a young girl who is told that she will be the first person to "transition from a human body to a synthetic." "Because I'm special," she replies. A separate scene in the trailer cuts to a spacecraft crash landing and a group of people investigating the spaceship. "This ship collected five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe," says Ceesay in the trailer as ominous shots of the spacecraft are shown. "Monsters." See the full trailer below. Is Ridley Scott involved? With Scott's 1979 film as the inspiration behind Hawley's new series, Scott has joined "Alien: Earth" as an executive producer. How to watch 'Alien: Earth': "Alien: Earth" will premiere with the first two episodes on Tuesday, Aug. 12, on Hulu and FX. Episodes will release every Tuesday through mid-September.

Anna Delvey breaks silence after dumped bunnies social media backlash
Anna Delvey is breaking her silence after being accused of dumping multiple rabbits used during a photoshoot in New York City. The "Dancing with the Stars" alum and convicted con artist took to her Instagram Story on Aug. 11 to address now-viral claims that she left two rabbits that were found abandoned in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. The backlash follows Delvey posting a photo carousel with the pair of bunnies and a companion video last week on social media. Delvey explained that a person named Christian Batty, who she described as a "member of the hair team I briefly met" during fashion week last year, had said he "knew someone who could lend us bunnies for a few hours." "I later discovered that, instead of borrowing animals from a legitimate source like (Batty) claimed, he had obtained them via Facebook Marketplace and intended to release them into Prospect Park," Delvey wrote in a lengthy note to fans. "(It was) a plan of which I had no knowledge," Delvey continued. "The idea that someone would compromise the well-being of innocent animals for personal networking opportunities is deeply disturbing to me." In an Aug. 12 statement to USA TODAY, Delvey said that "I'm appalled, and frankly terrified, by the violent threats and hundreds of vile, harassing messages flooding my social media." "I've provided overwhelming proof of my innocence, yet nothing seems to satisfy the performatively outraged masses whose only real aim is to churn hate in my comments and DMs," Delvey added. USA TODAY also reached out to reps for Jasper Egan Soloff, a photographer who worked on the shoot. According to People and The New York Times, Batty released statements on since-deleted social media pages addressing the incident and saying "I felt overwhelmed and made the worst possible choice." 'Dancing With the Stars' Anna Delvey elimination episode received historic fan votes Delvey (aka Anna Sorokin) is the real-life subject of the Netflix series "Inventing Anna" from Shonda Rhimes and served a prison sentence for swindling banks, hotels, and rich friends with a false reputation as a wealthy German heiress. Delvey said on Instagram that she was "appalled by what transpired," adding that "it's not my job to source or return animals" as talent. "But as an animal lover, I can promise I will never work with them again without knowing exactly where they came from and how they're getting home," she added. "I do not eat meat, and I had no involvement in the acquisition, transport or return of these animals. I would never condone these actions." After Delvey posted the photoshoot on social media, vegan influencer Terry Chao said in a post that she noticed that the bunnies from the photo were the same ones she had helped with two neighbors after she saw that there were lost bunnies found in the New York City park in a local Facebook group. "Animals are not props, they are beautiful, living things that we need to honor and cherish," Chao added.
