Eric Dane Announces ALS Diagnosis
Eric Dane has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
The 52-year-old actor shared his diagnosis with
People
, while affirming that his health has not impacted his plans to return for 'Euphoria' Season 3. He will be on the HBO series set in the coming days.
'I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter,' Dane said. '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.'
ALS is a fatal, progressive degenerative disease that breaks down the nerves in the body — weakening muscles and causing eventual paralysis, impacting patients' ability to breathe, speak and move — has no known cure.
On 'Euphoria,' Dane plays Cal Jacobs, the strict father to Jacob Elordi's character Nate Jacobs. Per People, Dane will begin shooting his role for the long-developing third season on April 14.
Production on new episodes began in January, with Elordi, Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney among the other cast members confirmed to return.
'There's gonna be redemption [for Cal],' Dane told Variety after Season 2 aired, teasing the trajectory of his character in future episodes. 'I can't judge the character. That's a dead end street for any actor. So I didn't pass any judgments on Cal. But I did know that eventually there was going to be a moment of truth and some sort of redemption for him.'
Along with 'Euphoria,' Dane is also beloved for his multi-season turn as Dr. Mark Sloan on 'Grey's Anatomy' and for leading TNT's naval series 'The Last Ship,' as well as more villainous performances in 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' and 'Burlesque.'

"Eyes of Wakanda" Drops Trailer
Yara Sameh The official trailer for 'Eyes of Wakanda,' a four-episode limited animated series executive produced by 'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler, has been released. It will release on Disney+ on August 1. The upcoming show will be set in Wakanda, the home of the Black Panther which was extensively explored in Coogler's two Marvel movies. The show will follow 'the adventures of brave Wakandan warriors throughout history. In this globe-trotting adventure, the heroes must carry-out dangerous missions to retrieve Vibranium artifacts from the enemies of Wakanda. They are the Hatut Zaraze and this is their story.' The voice cast includes Winnie Harlow, Cress Williams, Patricia Belcher, Larry Herron, Adam Gold, Lynn Whitfield, Jacques Colimon, Jona Xiao, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Gary Anthony Williams, Zeke Alton, Steve Toussaint, and Anika Noni Rose. The last time fans saw Wakanda was in 2022's 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' the sequel to Marvel's 2018 best picture nominee. That movie introduced the underwater world of Atlantis and featured the returns of Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira and Martin Freeman. Wakandans have popped up in other places in the MCU, including an appearance by Ayo, played by Florence Kasumba, in the Disney+ series 'The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.' The second-in-command of the Dora Milaje, Ayo first appeared in 'Captain America: Civil War.' The 'Wakanda' series is the first in a multi-year overall TV deal with Coogler's Proximity production company and The Walt Disney Company, with other TV projects in currently in development for the MCU. 'Eyes of Wakanda' is helmed by director/executive producer Todd Harris, who was first a storyboard artist on 'Black Panther' and 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' then as an illustrator on 'Sinners' before directing 'Eyes of Wakanda.' The show is executive produced by Coogler, Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, and Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt.

"Meet the Parents 4" Official Title Revealed
Yara Sameh The fourth Meet the Parents movie has set a title. "Focker in-Law" is the official title of the entry. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson will return for the fourth installment in the long-running comedy series, while Ariana Grande is joining the cast. The film's title references the surname of Stiller's character, Greg Focker. In the original movie, he endures a lot of painfully awkward hijinx while meeting his partner's parents for the first time. 'Meet the Parents,' which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, became a box office blockbuster with $330 million worldwide. The comedy of errors then spawned two commercially successful sequels: 2004's 'Meet the Fockers' (which introduced Greg's parents, Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman) and 2010's 'Little Fockers.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by @fockerinlaw John Hamburg, who wrote the first three films, will pen and direct 'Focker in-Law.' Stiller teased the fourquel during a 25th anniversary screening of 'Meet the Parents,' saying they only returned because they found an 'organic reason' to revisit the characters. 'What spurred the idea is that I'm the age that Bob was when we did the first movie,' Stiller told the crowd at the Tribeca Festival. 'It felt like a mirror to the first film, where one of my kids is thinking about introducing his person to the family.' De Niro revealed he's read the screenplay, though he stopped short of offering any plot details. 'The script is really fun,' he shared. 'I'm looking forward to it.' Audiences, meanwhile, won't get a glimpse of the on-screen shenanigans until 'Focker in-Law' opens in theaters on November 25, 2026. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
