Dax Shepard recently told CNN that he “hated” the late Eric Dane when they first met and said they almost had a “fist fight” after an altercation at an AA meeting.

“Eric Dane, I can now say I met in recovery, and we hated each other. I hated him!” Shepard recalled. “I thought he was a bit of a bully. And we were in a meeting, 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.”
