Irish actor Colin Farrell, 48, had to hold back tears as he spoke about his son James Padraig Farrell, 20, who has a neurogenetic condition called Angelman syndrome. In the interview, Farrell mentioned that he plans to create an institute in James’s honor.
Angelman syndrome is a disorder that affects a person’s development and causes problems with movement, balance, and speech.
Considering the well-being of his son and other young adults with “special needs”, Farrell decided to establish a nonprofit foundation so that these individuals and their families can receive all the support and “assistance they need”.
“I want the world to be kind to James. I want the world to treat him with kindness and respect”, Farrell told People Magazine.
According to Page Six, James is non-verbal, has difficulties with fine motor skills, and “cannot provide for his own health and well-being.” He is Farrell’s son with his ex-wife Kim Bordenave.
