Colin Farrell's Son James Inspiring His Charity Work

Irish actor Colin Farrell, best known for his roles in movies like "The Batman" and "The Banshees of Inisherin," has two sons. He shares his eldest son, James Padraig Farrell, 20, with his ex-girlfriend, Kim Bordenave. James has Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder that affects the nervous system. Farrell has spoken about the challenges of raising a child with special needs and how it has inspired him to give back to families like his.

Farrell is fiercely protective of James and his privacy. He rarely speaks about him in public, but he has made an exception in recent years to raise awareness of Angelman syndrome. In a 2020 interview with the Irish Independent, Farrell said, "James is the light of my life. He's taught me so much about patience, love, and acceptance. I'm so grateful for him." James' resilience and determination in the face of his challenges has inspired Farrell to become an advocate for other families affected by rare diseases.
