Colin Farrell Recalls the Moment His Courageous Son Took His First Steps: ‘I Burst into Tears’ (Exclusive)
Colin Farrell, who is launching the Colin Farrell Foundation to support adult children with intellectual disability through advocacy, education and innovative programs, recalls the moment his courageous son took his first steps. "I burst into tears," he tells PEOPLE in this week's issue.
Having been diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder, when he was 2½-years-old, James, now 20 (whom Farrell shares with an ex, model Kim Bordenave), hadn't been hitting typical benchmarks. Two weeks short of James's fourth birthday in their home at the time, his occupational therapist came up to Farrell and said, “'James has something to show you,'" the actor recalls. Now, the actor is launching the Colin Farrell Foundation to help support adult children with intellectual disability through advocacy, education and innovative programs.
