Eric Dane Says ‘McSteamy’ Nickname is Tiring, But Not Upsetting

Eric Dane doesn’t mind if you call him his Grey’s Anatomy nickname McSteamy, because he’s been called a lot of worse things!

The 44-year-old actor opened up about his famous role during a Build Series interview on Tuesday (August 1) in New York City.

“I’ve been called a lot worse,” Eric said. “And it never did anything bad for me, that nickname, so I don’t mind it… It’s not what I’m doing now, so it does get a little tiring, but it’s not something that really upsets me.”

Eric is currently promoting his role in The Last Ship.
