Farrell's 20-year-old son James has Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder. Diagnosed as a child, James is nonverbal and receives live-in care, according to Farrell, who opened up for the first time in depth about his son's condition in a new interview with People magazine.
The "Sugar" actor has launched the Colin Farrell Foundation to provide support for families who have adult children living with intellectual disabilities, particularly as those individuals age out of the support systems for those with special needs. He said he believes that if his son could communicate verbally about their new public effort, "...he would say, 'Dad, what are you talking about? Why are you even asking me? It's a no-brainer.'"Farrell said watching his son accomplish milestones throughout his life has provided him with perspective and left him "proud."
