Eric Dane final interview with Brad Falchuk has been released after his death

US actor Eric Dane, who played the handsome ‘Dr Mark Sloan’ on the hit television series “Grey’s Anatomy,” died on Thursday aged 53.

Dane breathed his last less than a year after revealing that he suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

For 15 years, Dane played a plastic surgeon nicknamed “McSteamy” by female characters in the show.

He also starred in the series “Euphoria,” and said after the diagnosis he would still return to the set for its.

Now, the Netflix has shared the actor’s last words after his death.

Dane admitted to Brad Falchuk during their confidential taping of Famous Last Words during November of 2025, an interview that he understood would only be released after his death.

The report says at the end of their interview, Falchuk left the stage so that Dane could speak directly to the camera to deliver his final, unedited public thoughts — specifically addressed to his daughters.

He says in his final interview, “Billie and Georgia, these words are for you. I tried. I stumbled sometimes, but I tried. Overall we had a blast, didn’t we? I remember all the times we spent at the beach, the two of you, me and mom — in Santa Monica, Hawaii, Mexico.

“I see you now playing in the ocean for hours, my water babies. Those days, pun intended, were heaven. I want to tell you four things I’ve learned from this disease, and I hope you don’t just listen to me. I hope you’ll hear me.”

“First, live now. Right now. In the present. It’s hard, but I learned to do that. For years, I have been wandering around mentally and lost in my head for long chunks of time, wallowing and worrying in self-pity, shame, and doubt. I’ve replayed decisions, second-guessed myself. ‘I shouldn’t have done this. I never should’ve that.’ No more. Out of pure survival, I am forced to stay in the present. But I don’t want to be anywhere else. The past contains regrets. The future remains unknown. So you have to live now. The present is all you have. Treasure it. Cherish every moment.”

“Second, fall in love,” he said and added “Third, choose your friends wisely.”

He continued, “Finally, fight with every ounce of your being, and with dignity. When you face challenges, health or otherwise, fight. Never give up. Fight until your last breath.”

At the end, he says “Billie and Georgia, you are my heart. You are my everything. Good night. I love you. Those are my last words.”

Brad Falchuk is executive producer behind the Netflix series featuring Eric Dane’s last message to his daughters

Brad Falchuk, who is married to Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow, did the questioning in Eric Dane’s Netflix series  “Famous Last Words”.

The streaming giant released Dane’s interview following his death. The “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Euphoria” actor died Thursday less than one year after he announced he was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, which is a fatal nerve system disease.

“Famous Last Words” is based on a show that originated in Denmark. The premise is that a person is interviewed — executive producer Brad Falchuk does the questioning in the Netflix show — and it will not be released until their death.

Dane’s interview is the second episode. The first was with primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall, who died last October. 

Speaking to Associated Press, Falchuk said  he’s recorded five conversations already with plans for more.

No one else was present on set for the taping last November and even the camera operators were in a different room.

“The guest needs to be totally safe to speak honestly and say whatever they want and know that they’re leaving something for people to experience with them not here,” Falchuk said on Friday.

Only a small number of people work on the production of the show afterward. “Very, very few people have seen it and very, very people even know whose done it,” explained Falchuk.

“Famous people don’t often get an opportunity to speak honestly about themselves and about what they think in the world,” said Falchuk who is married to Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow.

“They have to be very protective, especially nowadays. They say things and it goes everywhere and it gets misinterpreted and they also want to keep working or keep you know doing what they do, so this is an opportunity for them not to have to be guarded.”
