Colman Domingo has wished Eric Dane well amid his ‘Euphoria' co-star's health battle

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. Eric has two children, Billie Beatrice, 15, and Georgia Geraldine, 13, with his wife, Rebecca Gayheart. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is an illness that typically leads to progressive loss of muscle control, including the ability to speak, eat and breathe. The Muscular Dystrophy Association estimates those diagnosed with the condition usually live three to five years after their diagnosis, though some patients survive for decades. Other celebrities diagnosed with ALS include Aaron Lazar, John Driskell Hopkins and Stephen Hawking. Eric is set to return to Euphoria for its third season, with filming scheduled to resume on Monday (14.04.25.) He also recently completed work on the Amazon crime drama series 'Countdown'. Fans can expect more drama for his character, Cal Jacobs, in the new 'Euphoria' series as Eric has hinted at a potential redemption arc following his character's arrest at the end of season two. He told Variety about the upcoming series: 'There's gonna be redemption... I can't imagine Cal's life from solitary confinement. It's tough to work Cal into the storyline when he's behind bars.'

Shocking Celebrity Interview Revelations June 22 2025

Will Smith turned down the lead role in Inception because he didn't understand the plot. Jason Isaacs — who, if nothing else, loves to give a dramatic quote — said that he once worked with a "global icon" who was "the worst bully ever." "Did all the old tricks of doing a completely different performance off-camera than on," he told Vulture. "Yeah, it sucked. I'd never seen anything like it. Before, I would've licked the ground that this person walked on.' But who was he talking about?!? Eric Dane revealed that, shortly after his ALS diagnosis, one of his daughters had to rescue him from almost drowning in the ocean. 'When I jumped in the ocean that day and realized I couldn't swim [or] generate enough power to get myself back to the boat, I thought, 'Oh, God,'' he told Good Morning America. 'And then I realized in that moment I'm not safe in the water anymore.' Rebel Wilson was almost permanently disfigured in a freak accident on the set of her latest film Bride Hard. 'In a fight scene, a gun accidentally got whacked across my face,' she told Access Hollywood. 'It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open, so I left set. It was really my last night of shooting. I was like, 'How unlucky can I be?'' Hilaria Baldwin says that she regularly takes her kids to cemeteries to teach them about death. 'I think I bring my kids to cemeteries a lot,' she said on an episode of Kate and Oliver Hudson's Sibling Revelry podcast. 'Once you become a parent, I think that's how fragile life can be; it comes into my fears all the time. But I really feel like we spend time in cemeteries and everything from the history of it, and just also acknowledging, this is part of life.' Drake revealed that he recently lost $8 million in gambling — in just one month. Yes, you read that correctly. Anthony Ramos called out Madonna for allegedly being on her iPad during a performance of Hamilton. JoJo Siwa said she felt "pressured" to come out as a lesbian. "When I came out at 17, I said: 'I'm pansexual, because I don't care [about gender],'" she told the Daily Mail. "But then I kind of boxed myself in and I said: 'I'm a lesbian.' And I think I did that because of pressure." And finally, Lizzo admitted to using Ozempic during her "weight release" journey. "I tried everything," she told Trisha Paytas. "Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same item."

007: Next James Bond Rumored to be DCU Star

A new rumor surrounding the James Bond franchise suggests that a forthcoming DCU star is one of several actors being eyed for the highly coveted role of James Bond. According to noted insider Daniel Richtman (also known as DanielRPK), Aaron Pierre is one of several names being considered for the role of the legendary spy. Pierre broke out into superstardom following his role in 2021's Old, and Netflix's Rebel Ridge, as well as 2024's Mufasa: The Lion King. Pierre will also next appear in the next season of Apple TV+'s The Morning Show, and will play John Stewart in the DCU for the series' Lanterns series. Richtman didn't mention any other names that are being considered for Bond. The James Bond franchise is now in the hands of Amazon MGM Studios following the shocking announcement earlier this year that longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson would be stepping back from their long-time status as producers on the franchise, allowing Amazon MGM Studios to take creative control of the franchise. The agreement sees Amazon MGM Studios and the duo forming a new joint venture house to house the intellectual property rights for the Bond franchise. The three parties will remain co-owners of the Bond series, but now Amazon MGM Studios will have creative control, something that Broccoli and Wilson had retained before. Prior to the announcement, both Wilson and Broccoli had been known as fiercely protective over the franchise, but in a statement on the move, Wilson noted that he was stepping back to focus more on art and charitable projects, while Broccoli said she would be focusing on other projects now. Information about the future of the James Bond franchise, as well as what the next film will be about, remains mysterious for now.
