Dax Shepard is opening up about how he formed an unexpected friendship with the late Eric Dane.
During a recent chat with CNN’s Anderson Cooper at the New Orleans Book Festival, Shepard explained that he initially “hated” Dane and nearly engaged in a fight with him. But after learning about his upbringing through AA meetings, the two eventually connected and became friends.
“Eric Dane, I can now say I met in recovery and we hated each other. I hated him!” Shepard said. “I thought he was a bit of a bully. And we were in a meeting [and] he threatened a younger member of the group, and this had been simmering for a long time, and I said, ‘Let’s go. Outside. Right now.’ It was on. And we walked outside to a fist fight in the driveway of an AA meeting.”
