Colin Farrell's newly launched foundation seeks to benefit people living with intellectual disability and their families 'through education, awareness, advocacy and innovative programs.'
Oscar-nominated actor Colin Farrell just announced his newest role: charity foundation president. The 'Banshees of Inisherin' and 'The Batman' star unveiled his eponymous Colin Farrell Foundation, which seeks to benefit people living with intellectual disabilities and their families. At the core of Farrell's new organization and its mission: the actor's 20-year-old son James, who lives with Angelman Syndrome.
James, whom Farrell shares with ex-girlfriend and model Kim Bordenave, is nonverbal and will soon age out of support systems and programs that benefit people with special needs and their families, the actor said. James will celebrate his 21st birthday in September. 'You're left with a young adult who should be an integrated part of our modern society and more often than not is left behind,' Farrell, 48, added.
