Colman Domingo has wished Eric Dane well amid his fellow ‘Euphoria’ actor’s health battle.
The star’s co-star on the show was recently diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and the 55-year-old actor has now opened up about his shock at hearing Eric’s sad news.
He told People about how he learned of his friend's diagnosis the same day it was shared with the public: "I haven’t been able to speak with him yet.”
Colman added about how he is backing Eric: “I just got the news yesterday too, and I'm wishing him well. I look forward to working with him.”
Colman plays Ali in ‘Euphoria’ – a mentor to and sponsor for Zendaya’s drug-addled character Rue, while Eric plays troubled Cal Jacobs, the patriarch of the Jacobs family.
‘Euphoria’ was renewed for a third season in February 2022, and production began just two months ago. Eric, 52, revealed his ALS diagnosis in an exclusive interview with People on Thursday (10.04.25.)
He said: “I have been diagnosed with ALS.
“I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.
“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to the set of ‘Euphoria’ next week.”
The rare and progressive disease causes paralysis of the muscles, affecting speech, walking, and other motor functions.
