4-year-old James only started walking 6 weeks ago
Tuesday, 16 October 2007
Actor Colin Farrell has revealed that his young son has a rare form of cerebral palsy.
It's the first time the Miami Vice star, 31, has spoken about James's condition.
The 4-year-old - whose mother is model Kim Bordenave - suffers from genetic disorder Angelman Syndrome and has only just started to walk.
'From day one I felt that he's the way he's meant to be,' Colin says.
'With my son the only time I'm reminded that there is something different about him - that he has some deviation of what is perceived to be normal - is when I see him with other 4-year-olds.
'Then I go, "Oh yeah", and it comes back to me.'
James took his first steps 6 weeks ago.
'He worked his a**e off for 4 years,' Colin tells the Daily Mirror. 'When he took the first steps it was incredibly emotional, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.'
