Eric Dane was spotted out for the first time since he revealed his ALS diagnosis and partial paralysis from the disease.

The 52-year-old actor – best known for his roles in Grey’s Anatomy, The Last Ship and Euphoria – was spotted out on Monday.

The actor appeared to be in good spirits as he exited the vehicle, clad in a navy blue polo shirt, grey plaid shorts and red Adidas soccer shoes.

He was seen being driven around by an unknown female companion for the Monday afternoon outing.

Dane announced in April that he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), after first experiencing symptoms back in 2024.

‘I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter,’ he said of his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart and their daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13.

He added, ‘“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.’

His condition quickly deteriorated, though, as he revealed in his first interview since the diagnosis, with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America.

‘I have one functioning arm. My left side is functioning. My right side, [which is my dominant side], has completely stopped working,’ he revealed in the interview.

‘[My left arm] is going. I feel like maybe a couple, a few more months and I won’t have my left hand either. Sobering. I’m worried about my legs,’ he told Sawyer on Monday.

The first symptom he noticed was weakness in his right hand over a year ago, though he, ‘thought maybe I’d been texting too much or my hand was fatigued.’

He had it checked by a hand specialist, who referred him to a neurologist, which lead to the diagnosis.

His wife Gayheart withdrew her divorce petition back in March, a month before the diagnosis revealed, following a seven-year estrangement.

‘I talk to her every day. We have managed to become better friends and better parents,’ he said.

He added, ‘“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.’

‘And she is probably my biggest champion and my most stalwart supporter. And I lean on her,’ he added.

Dane also revealed a heartbreaking story in the interview, illustrating how debilitating the disease has made him.

The actor – once a competitive water polo player and avid swimmer – revealed he needed his 13-year-old daughter Georgia had to save his life.

They were on a boat trip when Dane jumped into the ocean, though he ultimately realized he, ‘couldn’t swim and generate enough power to get myself back to the boat. She dragged me back to the boat.’

‘I was, like, breaking down in tears. So I made sure [Georgia] got back in the water with her friend and continued on with the snorkeling [excursion] with the guide. But I was just heartbroken,’ he added.
