For the Pharrells, the red carpet is clearly a family affair. Colin Farrell will perform from September 20 PenguinAmerican miniseries airing on the Max streaming service and based on the DC Comics character The Penguin. As the countdown begins, the 48-year-old actor took advantage of the show’s New York premiere this Tuesday (September 18) by appearing alongside his 14-year-old son Henry.

The first support of his sons

Colin Farrell is the proud father of his sons. For some time now, she no longer hesitates to appear in public with her children. in August, when she threw open the doors of her Los Angeles home to US magazine People The actor announced the launch of a foundation in his name, which is intended for young people who suffer, like his elder James (20), from intellectual disabilities. On that occasion, the father-son duo took part in the photo shoot.

Born to his union with model Kim Bordenave, James suffers from Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder responsible for severe intellectual and motor deficits, lack of language and other disabilities. “I want the world to be kind to my son,” Colin Farrell declared on the cover of the issue. The timing was not chosen by chance, as James is approaching the age of 21, the age when various programs to help people with disabilities end. “When your child reaches 21 years old, he remains a little bit himself,” laments the actor. All the safeguards put in place, the specialized classes, it all disappears and you’re left with a young man who should be fully integrated into our society, but who too often ends up being left behind. A fight Colin Farrell intends to take part in, developing awareness campaigns and education programs through his foundation. And which prompts him to compromise his usual discretion on the subject, despite his reluctance to put his son on stage. “If James had known that taking pictures with me in the park, which is not my favorite thing to do, could help families and young people with special needs, he would have told me: “Dad, what are you talking about? Don’t even wake up.” He explained again. That’s why we do it. This is all for James, in his honor.”
