From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

Euphoria star Eric Dane has revealed that he receives a lot of “d*** pics” from fans, via direct message on Instagram.

The actor stars in HBO Max’s gritty teen drama as Cal, the closeted gay father of Nate (Jacob Elordi).

In an interview with Radio Andy, Dane discussed the reaction to his portrayal of the macho character, who came out as gay in the second season.

“Your DMs must be explosive,” host Andy Cohen said.

“Listen, Andy, that is a dark alley that I don’t go down alone,” Dane responded. “For real, I get a lot of d*** pics.”

“You get lots of d*** pics! But don’t you get women sending you stuff too?” Cohen questioned.

“No, I get d*** pics. I think that guys now assume that I’m going the other way, which is fine,” he joked. “I’ve seen a lot of ugly penises; I’ve seen lots of pretty ones.”

Instagram isn’t the only social media platform the Grey’s Anatomy alum has had an interesting experience with.

In a previous interview, Dane admitted that he thinks his former co-star Adam Baldwin “needs to muzzle his Twitter feed at times”.

Dane said “he just doesn’t follow” Baldwin on Twitter, who has often used his platform to share his right-wing political beliefs.

Euphoria is available to stream on HBO Max in the US, and NOW in the UK.
