Colin Farrell, the renowned actor, recently shared insights into his relationship with his two sons, James and Henry. Farrell revealed that his sons, aged 20 and 14 respectively, have reached an age where they can now watch his films and form their opinions. This has led to Farrell humorously dubbing them his 'Rotten Tomatoes committee at home,' indicating that they are his toughest critics.
Despite their love for their father, James and Henry do not hold back in expressing their views on Farrell's work. In a previous interview, Farrell mentioned that his sons are not fond of seeing him portray villainous characters on screen, preferring to see him in different roles.
Farrell's dedication to his children extends beyond his career in acting. In a touching display of parental care, Farrell and his ex-girlfriend Kim Bordenave sought to become coconservators of their eldest son, James, who was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome. This genetic disorder affects James's development and necessitates assistance in various daily activities.
Despite the challenges they face, Farrell remains a devoted father to his sons. In a heartwarming moment, Farrell and his youngest son, Henry, attended the Oscars together, showcasing their close bond. The duo donned matching tuxedos, with Farrell receiving his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
Farrell's commitment to his family shines through both in his personal life and professional endeavors. As he continues to captivate audiences with his performances on screen, his role as a loving father remains a central aspect of his identity.
