Colin Farrell opens up about son with Angelman syndrome: ‘We still struggle’

Actor discusses son's neurological condition and launches foundation supporting people with intellectual disability

In a new interview, Colin Farrell opened up about his son who has a rare neurological condition called Angelman syndrome, and announced that he is launching a foundation to support people with intellectual disabilities.

Farrell's son, James, who is now 20 years old, was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome when he was a two and a half years old, the Irish actor said in an exclusive interview with People Magazine released on Wednesday. He said his son was previously misdiagnosed with cerebral palsy, which shares many of the same characteristics.
