It has been revealed that Johnny Depp let his close friend Eric Dane live 'rent-free in one of his LA homes' as he tried to ease his financial worries in the months before his death.

The Grey's Anatomy star passed away on Thursday at the age of 53, 10 months after he publicly shared his diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

He met Johnny through mutual friends years ago, and the Pirates Of The Caribbean star kindly allowed Eric to live in one of his homes amid his health woes.

Eric Dane has passed away at the age of 53.

Best known for his unforgettable role as Dr. Mark Sloan — “McSteamy” — on Grey's Anatomy, Eric became one of television’s most beloved heartthrobs. He also captivated audiences in Euphoria with his powerful performances.

His death comes less than a year after he publicly revealed his diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

According to his family, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones.

Eric Dane wasn’t just a character on screen — he was a presence. Charismatic. Talented. Courageous.

53 is far too young.
Rest in peace.

Bunnies at the pet shop. Was THIS close to taking home the grey and white. 🥹

Came home to my three best friends all hanging out together, they never do this! The grey girl is 15yrs and severely wobbly. I’ve NEVER seen her get up on my bed. I don’t know how she did it- but she did.
