“My left side is functioning, but my right side has completely stopped working,” Dane tells Diane Sawyer. The actor notes that his left arm also becomes weaker. “I think I can no longer use my left hand in a few months. That is sobering.”

Eric Dane received first symptoms a year and a half ago
Dane started to show the first symptoms of the disease a year and a half ago when his right hand became weaker. “I didn’t think much about it then,” he looks back in conversation with Sawyer. “I thought I might have applied too much if my hand had overloaded, but a few weeks later it got worse.”
On Friday, part of the interview was already shared online. Dane said, among other things, that his life is currently not a dream. “Every morning when I wake up, I am immediately reminded that this really happens.”
