Colin Farrell is explaining a great parenting decision that he made.

The star “Penguin”, 48, revealed in a new interview with Candis magazine That he and his ex, Model Kim Bordenave, put their 21 -year -old son James, suffering from Angelman’s syndrome, in a long -term care center.

“It’s complicated, some parents will say:” I want to take care of my son myself, “and respect that,” Farrell said Independent.

“But my horror would be, what would happen if I have a heart attack tomorrow and, God does not allow it, James’s mother, Kim, has a car accident and she is also tasks, and then James is proper?” Hey added. “[He’d be] A state room. And where? We would have nothing to say. “

Farrell said that the former partner is trying to “find a place where we like where he can go now, while we are still alive and healthy, that we can go to visit, sometimes we can get it out.”

“We want you to find somewhere where you can have a complete and happy life, where you feel connected,” Farrell or his son shared. “Going to the truck every day and going to the supermarket and making purchases together. When going to the beach, museums, movies, all that. Only a connected life.”

Angelman’s syndrome is a strange neurogenetic disorder that causes delayed development and problems with movement, balance and speech, according to the Mayonnaise clinic.

James was diagnosed with Angelman’s syndrome when he was only 2 and a half years old.

“Once your son turns 21, he is a child or alone,” Farrell told People In August 2024. “All the safeguards that are implemented, special emergency classes, which everything disappears, so you have a young adult who should be an integrated part of our modern society and more than is not far behind.”

The star “Banshees of Inisherin” too I remembered James’s diagnosis learning And how he reacted to the news of the doctors.

“I remember that the first two questions I asked were:” What is the life expectancy and how much pain is involved? “” And the doctor said: “Life expectancy, for what we can say, is the same for you and me, and pain, no.”

Farrell has another son, Henry Tadeusz Farrell, 14, with the Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curuś.
