Colin Farrell is a well-known actor who has been in blockbusters like “The Batman” and “The Banshees of Inisherin,” yet at his core, he is a family man. Ferrell has two incredible boys, who are a part of his complex existence.In 2003, he became a father for the first time when he had James Farrell, his eldest son, with Kim Bordenave, a previous girlfriend. Colin and his kid have remained close even though the pair finally split.
When the actor received his youngest son, Henry Farrell, six years later, another Farrell was welcomed into the family. Unfortunately, Farrell and Henry’s mother parted ways, just like James did. He continues to play a significant role in the lives of both of his boys, though.
Farrell’s life improved once he started a family. He said on Access Hollywood that “Your life widens. You become stronger than you ever thought. You would do anything to protect that child. And also, more vulnerable.” And even though the actor is very famous, that doesn’t stop his kids from poking fun at their old man. When he landed a role in the Harry Potter franchise, both of his sons remained unimpressed, and he told People it didn’t exactly make him a “cool dad.” He shared, “I’m just as boring and frustrating as I ever was.”
James Farrell
The most joyful times in Colin Farrell’s life have been fatherhood. The actor was happiest ever once he and Kim Bordenave had James Farrell in 2003. He reportedly remarked, “I adore him and I will always be in his life…. Fatherhood for me is the ultimate success,” as quoted by the Irish Examiner. Although the actor from “The Batman” was overjoyed to have a son, his joy soon gave way to concern after learning that James had Angelman Syndrome.
Angelman Syndrome is a “genetic disorder” that “causes delayed development, issues with speech and balance, intellectual disability, and, occasionally, seizures,” according to Mayo Clinic. James has made significant progress despite his handicap, including learning to walk, talk, and eat. Despite everything, Farrell has remained incredibly proud of James.
Henry Farell
Children will always be humiliated by their parents, regardless of their popularity, as Colin Farrell’s youngest son Henry Farrell discovered.It appears like Henry is becoming more confident speaking about his father as he gets older. On “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” the actor shared a comical tale about his youngster criticising his sense of style. The actor said that his kid would “disagree vehemently” with DeGeneres’ claim that Colin’s short shorts are back in vogue. By his father’s choice of shorts, Colin claimed his son feels “mortified.” “Please, Dad, do not wear the short shorts,” he said, according to Colin. And I say, “They feel good,” to him. It’s a parent’s responsibility to humiliate their kid, right?
Henry really went to the 2023 Oscars with his father, so Henry must not have embarrassed Colin too badly. The father-and-son team, who were dressed identically from head to toe, walked the red carpet together and even spoke about one another. The actor jokingly offered his son money after being questioned by Extra TV about if Colin is a “tough dad.” Henry had only positive things to say about his father, so there was no need for bribery. He laughed, pretending to wipe away sweat, and replied, “He’s definitely nice.”
