Colin once had a reputation as a partying bad boy, but now this sobered up lad has shown his sweet side. Last month we heard how generous Colin is when he took a homeless man on a shopping spree, and now he is talking for the first time about his 4-year-old son James, revealing that he was born with a rare form of cerebral palsy called Angelman Syndrome. Colin shows what a doting dad he is and how much he adores his son just the way he is. He said,
”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 four-year-olds. Then I go “oh yeah” and it comes back to me. But from day one I felt that he's the way he's meant to be.... He took his first steps about six weeks ago and it was four years in the making. All the work is his, he worked his arse off for four years.”

I love him
1sadness
2never really liked him, but it's endearing to see him speak so fondly of his son, as he should.
3I never really liked him either, until I saw a video of him with the Irish Special Olympics Team. He was so warm and friendly with the athletes, and seemed completely comfortable around people who were "different." Maybe having a son with a disability has given him that connection with them.
4awww thats the darness thing thats the sweetest and most enndearing thing ive ever heard.......ive just fell in love with Colin
aww he can have a hug

Wow, this really is AWW-Dorable. Mr. Ferrell has just landed in my hot dad list, just because of how
dedicated he is to his son.
8I don't like him, but kudos to him for showing his softer side. He seems like he's really in love with his little boy.
9Sadness indeed. I didn't know his son has special needs. Colin seems to be a real dedicated father to his son. It's good to see he cleaned up the skank behavior. He used to be a straight-up, dirty wh*re, skank licking slut and now he actually sounds like a good daddy. Who would've thought?!
10aww i didnt know that about his son
good for colin. he can always get it from me.
11He's really scoring high points with me , but not because he's dedicated to his son . He's SUPPOSED to be dedicated--that's what fatherhood is all about.
It's something else about him openly speaking out about his son's disability that seems very un-hollywood. Good for him and I wish both parents and little Jimmy the best!
12lilflowa u gave out double hugs
13Love Colin and it's great to see this "dad" side of him; his son is adorable and I wish them the best.
14cute
15That thing he did for the homeless man was so sweet. I love him, he's made me have faith in celebrities.
16Steviasweet, I saw that same video of Colin with the Special Olympics team, and I was really impressed. He seems like a sweetheart! I'm so glad that now I don't have to be super embarrassed by my crush on him.
17not really into his style.
18COLIN ,GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

21colin you are a great dad, hang in there.
22i always loved Colin Farrell, he's a sexy bad boy!
23there's a heart in every bad boy!
24That's sad about his son.
i really like what I'm hearing about Colin lately.
25Awwww you gotta love

26Angelmans Syndrome is Not a form of cerebral palsy. It is a rare neuro genetic disorder caused by a lack of critical genes on the Maternally inherited chromosome 15, is a sister syndrome to Prader Willi which is caused by a lack of praternal genes.
It used to be called "happy puppet syndrome" because Its characterized by a an unstable jerky gait and bouts of laughter. These are really happy children.
I know this, because i work with them. Good thing is that as he gets older the symptoms will improve
27Very sweet:)
28o bless him. hes a gorgeous little lad like his daddy.
29it's an unfortunate situation - though not uncommon amongst the world.
30Why the hell is he getting brownie points for loving his son DESPITE him being "different" - people, thats what he's supposed to do - love his son unconditionally.
This annoys the hell out of me.
Im still no fan of his - bad actor (over-acts) and I dont dig that forced 'bad boy' thing. Its so 1980's.
31Because we want to and we can.
32what a beautiful picture of colin and little james , you are the best dad ever and i love you
god bless you and your family
33special people have special children.. sometimes it takes a child to open your eyes and your heart. he has had such a bad reputation but this shows his tru colors..my thought and prayers are with he and his family..it has to be tough!
