WTF? TV production shuts down due to star's depression!

Eric Dane, the hunky guy with the sex tape that I saw on the internet.

Depression, something that led to depression, or something else altogether? Who knows, but I do wish him the best and hope that he can function again soon.

Judging by what happened to his face, he has/had a coke habit.

I've been depressed since 2012 or so but my ass shows up to work each day.

Can he not function?

"Depression" is right up there with Lyme disease as the cover story when an actor needs to deal with their substance abuse issues. At least it's not the dreaded "exhaustion".

On the off chance he actually is depressed, I wish him well.

He probably try to off himself.

If my looks tumbled the way his did within just a few years I would be depressed too.

R5, I bet he can write in perfect English, though.

He went to rehab a few years ago for a pain killer addiction..... so.

I immediately thought the same thing r8, he has gone to rehab before. This is almost certainly due to substance abuse getting out of hand again.

That's Eric Dane? Holy Shit, McDreamy turned into McFugly.

I remember that "sex tape" of Dane, his wife Rebecca Gayheart and Keri Anne Peniche (WHET?). He was on drugs then and it seems he's continued.

Depression must be code for addiction.

The day after downs can be pretty depressing.

He does look aged. Sad.

Depression = back on methamphetamine.

Serves him right, glorifying those asshole Vikings.

R14 Why'd you post a poor quality version of OP's pic?

Wow, he looks so different. Like a generic middle-aged Republican douche in Warshington. Definitely not a DILF.

He relapsed on drugs - maybe an accidental overdose? Or, perhaps high on drugs, he attempted suicide. He must have had a serious event to lead to taking a few weeks off.

Agreed - it's rehab of some sort. He looks like hell in that pic.

Setting aside the dye job, he looked like this one year ago. He's now red-faced and bloated.

He's no Patrick Dempsey.

Didn't the woman in the three-way with his wife and him say they smocked crack?

D R U G S.

The wife killed someone also.

He looks puffy.

Too bad he was sexy.

They were smoking crack on that tape IIRC.

The Last Ship is a Viking show? I thought it was some kind of sci-fi thing.

It's not Vikings or Sci-Fi.

A virus has wiped out a lot of the world, so Eric Dane goes around the world on his LAST SHIP to help find survivors, find a better cure, etc.

I liked him better with the facial hair.

That haircut is not doing him any favors, either.

They were smoking meth, not crack.

Danes are very melancholy people.

Wow, that's too bad. Last season was absolutely fantastic, and just last night I was wondering when the new season would begin.

I like Eric Dane as an actor (though I never could get into Grey's Anatomy), and I understand how a major depressive episode can linger, deepen, and paralyze. Really hoping he's getting all the help he needs, and has a good support system.

Right, R30, and Mariah and Xtina were suffering from "exhaustion", too, just like ED's "depression."

So it's more important that you see another episode of "The Last Ship" than someone's health? I didn't even know a thing about that show and barely knew who he was, but as someone who went through a major depression in his mid 30's and have had troubles throughout my life with addiction problems - jeez louise some of you...

"Addiction problems"... See? THERE is what Eric Dane's collapse is about, not "depression" from the publicist.

You said it yourself.

Could he be so depressed that he's catatonic or in some sort of vegetative state? Is that a thing?

Otherwise, dry your tears, swallow a few gulps of Red Bull, imagine all the groovy stuff you'll buy with your paycheck, and GET TO WORK LIKE THE REST OF US!

Non?

A BI said it was rehab. Again.

The tried and true method of taking existing internet gossip and turning it into a blind item.

This could happen to anyone. Probably a big relapse and/or attempted suicide, or accidental OD.

He needs help and treatment. I am envious of people who have never had this issue. I self medicated with booze and coke, got sober and relapsed, got sober and relapsed, and got sober again.

Life ain't easy, and sometimes, it's great! Everyone knows how wonderful it feels to have a few drinks with friends on the weekend, or to celebrate with coworkers. The sober person just can't do that. They want to, but it is something that doesn't turn out well for most, if they have developed a real dependency to alcohol.

I'd give anything to not have this problem. I bet he would too.

At least he has the resources and support to get proper help. So many end up on the street or worse.

Maybe he is just EXHAUSTED! It happens!

He used to be so fine! Crack kills.

R31 Regarding Mariah - it was neither drugs nor exhaustion.

I don't believe for one minute he suffers from depression.

White trash.

R42 Thankyou for taking time out of your busy twitter schedule to comment.

I get depressed and still manage to drag my sorry ass to my nine-to-five.

Where's the sex tape? Let's see the cock.

r44 Ha!

There's not much to see, r46. His nickname should have been McTiny.

Yeah, they are so high on meth that he never even gets hard. They wander around, super high, maybe feel on the 3rd party?

It reminded me of 'Hot In Cleveland' where Nina Van Horne attempted to make a sex video just to get her name in the public's eye, which is probably what the Eric Dane "sex" tape was for: to jumpstart Gayheart's deservedly DEAD career.

Didn't work.

Here it is from Pornhub:

Why did they let this get out. I mean they have children.

I think the other woman in the vid leaked it.

Christ, what a dull, sleep-inducing tape. Dane is absolutely ordinary in it. Total AWG.

Who?

How many inches is his dick?

Depression? Why, with that megawatt smile I'd never believe it. That fella could light up a room!

Maybe he has the Manapause.

It'd have to be something extreme to shut production down entirely. Maybe his nose collapsed.

I honestly love "The Last Ship" even though it's usually something I'd avoid as it's military and sci-fi and "last survivor" type things.

Lots of strong female leads, gay characters, and he's still hot, just in a different way. He better not fuck the show up. It's been renewed for multiple seasons.

Bump. Just because he's depressed doesn't mean he isn't sexy.

He doesn't look as good as he used to he was so handsome. Is It drugs?

Is he hung though...

Was that sex tape produced by Walt Disney himself?

Jesus christ.

He just called. He's fine. He sends his love.

"depression"

WTF did you bump a 2 year old thread for that??
