Let\u2019s take a look at what he had to say.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Eric Dane reveals he didn\u2019t attend 2025 Emmys due to head injury<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Eric Dane told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/style\/2025\/10\/02\/eric-dane-als-sick-research-congress\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Washington Post;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Washington Post<\/a> that he couldn\u2019t make it to the Emmys because of a head injury. Shortly before the telecast, he reportedly lost his balance and fell in his kitchen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cALS is a nasty disease. So I was in the hospital during the Emmys getting stitches put in my head,\u201d he explained. Further talking about why he had been really looking forward to the 2025 Emmys, he said, \u201cI missed an opportunity I was really looking forward to. It would have been great to see Jesse and get reunited with some of my peers, and to be able to present in front of my colleagues, I thought, would have been a special moment. So I was really upset about it, but you know, there was nothing I could do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Dane was slated to present the award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series alongside his former co-star Jesse Williams. Their scheduled appearance together was planned to mark the 20th anniversary of\u00a0<em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Earlier this year, in April, Dane shared with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/eric-dane-diagnosed-with-als-exclusive-11713179\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:People;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">People<\/a> that he had been diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and that he is grateful to have his loving family by his side as they navigate this next chapter. \u201cI feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,\u201d he added. Later in June, during a Good Morning America interview, he revealed that he had lost function in his right arm. He also mentioned that he didn\u2019t feel too good about his left side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite his health battles, Eric Dane will appear in Euphoria Season 3, reprising his role of Cal Jacobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Elton Fernandes on\u00a0<em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/pop-culture\/news\/2038530-euphoria-greys-anatomy-eric-dane-why-missed-2025-emmys\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Comingsoon;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Comingsoon<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1669503-euphoria-greys-anatomy-eric-dane-why-missed-2025-emmys\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Grey\u2019s Anatomy Actor Eric Dane on Why He Was Absent at 2025 Emmys;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Grey\u2019s Anatomy Actor Eric Dane on Why He Was Absent at 2025 Emmys<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric Dane\u2018s absence from the 2025 Emmys was felt as he was initially scheduled to present an award with his former Grey\u2019s Anatomy co-star Jesse Williams, who had to go solo instead.
