The Unexpected Star Who Helped Eric Dane When He Needed It Most

As Eric Dane’s ALS progressed, his famous friend Johnny Depp quietly made sure he had one less thing to worry about. According to a source of Page Six, Depp opened up one of his Los Angeles properties to the Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria actor after his April 2025 diagnosis. Rather than charging him rent, Depp reportedly told Dane to pay what he could ... or couldn't.

Dane was staying at a home Depp owns above the Sunset Strip, essentially rent-free. The two had known each other for years through mutual friends.
