USAMon Jun 16 2025
A well-known actor has been facing a tough battle with a serious disease. This actor has been open about his fight with ALS, a condition that affects the nerves and muscles. He has already lost use of his right arm and is worried about his left side and legs. The actor, known for his roles in popular TV shows, shared his struggles in a recent interview. He talked about a scary moment when he couldn't swim due to weakness. His daughter had to save him, which was a heartbreaking experience for him. The actor noticed symptoms over a year ago. He thought it was just fatigue from texting too much. But the weakness got worse, and after many doctor visits, he was diagnosed with ALS. This disease affects the nerves that control muscles, making it hard to do simple things like walking or talking. It gets worse over time, and there is no cure. The actor is focusing on his family and wants to keep working as long as he can. He is emotional when talking about his wife, who supports him a lot. He is also angry that this disease might take him away from his teenage daughters, just like his own father was taken from him. ALS is a tough disease. Most people with ALS die within three to five years of symptoms starting. Only about 10 percent live for 10 years or more. The actor is hoping for the best and wants to spend as much time as possible with his family.
