Colin Farrell appeared on Late Show With David Letterman last week to promote his upcoming movie, Fright Night. White talking with Dave, Colin took a minute to give a shout out to CureAngelman.org – and opened up about one of his sons who has been diagnosed with the rare disease Angelman Syndrome.
Colin has two sons James, 7, and Henry, almost 2, and briefly discussed his family with David Letterman.
“James, just a quick shout out if I can, James has a condition called Angelman Syndrome and it only affects one in 30,000 children, they say,” Colin said on Late Show. “So there’s not that much funding because it doesn’t benefit pharmaceutical companies, of course.”
The actor asked for anyone to help by visiting CureAngelman.org to help donate and then discussed a bit more about his son and how he was diagnosed.
“It was actually when a doctor saw how happy he was,” Colin explained. “He was like, ‘Does he always smile this much?’”
James started walking just short of his 4th birthday and doesn’t have any verbal speech, but Colin made sure to say that his boy is a “a really happy boy.”
Angelman syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes developmental disabilities and neurological problems, such as difficulty speaking, balancing and walking and, in some cases, seizures. Frequent smiles and outbursts of laughter are common for people with Angelman syndrome, and many have happy, excitable personalities.
Colin has two sons from previous relationships with different women.
I love Colin – especially in ‘Horrible Bosses’. Genius! I do not – however – have even the slightest desire to see his new movie. Ick.
Hunky actor Colin Farrell didn’t look too happy when he was spotted wearing jeans, a flannel shirt, a jacket and a hat in New York yesterday, seeing as it’s as hot you-know-what out there…but I must say, he still looks good. Though, even when he posed for pictures with fans he looked a tad miserable. Colin was making the press rounds in NYC, including stopping by Regis & Kelly to talk about his upcoming vampire movie Fright Night.
Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth seem like unlikely costars, but that’s exactly what they are in the upcoming remake of ‘Gambit’.
‘Gambit’ was originally released in 1966, and starred Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine as partners in a con to sell a fake Monet painting. The new movie, starring Cameron Diaz, Colin Firth, Stanley Tucci and Cloris Leachman, is being written by the Coen brothers.
Production is in London right now – with plans to move to New Mexico.
The image above is the first official image of Diaz and Firth in costume on the Gambit set.
Shooting in London and in New Mexico, the story centers on British art curator Harry Deane (Firth) who devises a finely-crafted scheme to con England’s richest man and avid art collector, Lionel Shabandar, (Rickman) into purchasing a fake Monet painting. In order to bait his buyer, he recruits a Texas rodeo queen (Diaz) to cross the pond and pose as a woman whose grandfather liberated the painting at the end of WWII.
I do not have warm fuzzy feelings about my darling Colin starring in a movie with Cameron Diaz. I like her – but I don’t like her movies. I just don’t normally like the kinds of movies she stars in. I think – in all honesty – she’s a terrible actress. So I’m bummed that Colin is doing this! Hopefully with him signing on, it means Cameron may finally make a decent movie. We’ll see!
Actor Colin Farrell has a notorious reputation as being a bit of a playboy. There were the rumors of his numerous relationships with Hollywood starlets, and then there was the infamous sex tape, but during a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Colin claimed that he is more of a monogamous person that most would think.
Colin: “I was never much for dating. I was much for a few things, but I kind of usually went decent-ish amount of time.”
Ellen: “So you’re a monogamous person?”
Colin: “Yeah?” Farrell, who has two sons from two different relationships, responds.
Ellen: “That was a question. That was not an answer.”
Colin: “No, I think when I answer yes to something like that, I’m kind of shocked myself that I’m answering yes. That’s why it was a question. I’m kind of like, ‘Colin do you really believe yourself?’”
I had to chuckle a bit. If you shock yourself when answering yes to being monogamous, maybe you answered too quickly!
