FILM fans were left craving iced coffee to cool off after seeing footage of a shirtless Hollywood A-lister texting outside a shop in LA.
The film hunk might be 48 now, but he’s still in fantastic shape and only getting better with age.
Wearing a backwards baseball cap and black running shorts, the actor smiled as he text on his phone by the roadside.
One TikTok user wrote: “Oh he looks good.”
Another said: “May this type of celebrity sighting find me.”
A third added: “He’s been FINE his whole life.”
READ MORE ON COLIN FARRELL
It is of course Irish superstar Colin Farrell.
The Penguin lead is considered one of the industry’s good guys and a number of social media users shared anecdotes of their interactions with him.
Some attended yoga classes at LA studio Modo, while others credited his work ethic and shared how he was happy to hang out with regular folk when not shooting movies.
One said: “We were in the same yoga class for a long time together. He’s awesome.”
Another posted: “We were in the same yoga class for a long time together. He’s awesome.”
The heartthrob recently shared some deeply personal news that showed a different side to his character.
He revealed the heartbreaking reason he’s planning on putting his disabled son James, 21, into a long-term care facility.
James has Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes intellectual and developmental delay.
According to the Mayo Clinic, it “causes delayed development, problems with speech and balance, mental disability, and, sometimes, seizures”.
James, whose mum is Kim Bordenave, was diagnosed at four years old.
Speaking to Candis Magazine for their May 2025 issue, Colin revealed why he and Kim made the decision.
“It’s tricky, some parents will say: ‘I want to take care of my child myself.’
“And I respect that,” he told the outlet.
“But my horror would be… What if I have a heart attack tomorrow, and, God forbid, James’ mother, Kim, has a car crash and she’s taken too – and then James is on his own?”
Symptoms of Angelman syndrme
Accoding to Mayo Clinic, symptoms of Angelman syndrome include:
- Developmental delays, including no crawling or babbling at 6 to 12 months.
- Mental disability, also called intellectual disability.
- No speech or little speech.
- Trouble walking, moving or balancing.
- Smiling and laughing often and seeming happy.
- Being easy to excite.
- Trouble sucking or feeding.
- Trouble going to sleep and staying asleep.
The health provider also states that people who have Angelman syndrome may also have:
- Seizures, often beginning between 2 and 3 years of age.
- Stiff or jerky movements.
- Small head size by age 2.
- Tongue thrusting.
- Hair, skin and eyes that are light in color.
- Odd behaviors, such as hand flapping and arms uplifted while walking.
- Crossed eyes, also caused strabismus.
- Curved spine, also called scoliosis.
COLIN’S PLEA
Last summer, Colin opened up candidly about his son’s condition.
Speaking to People Magazine, Colin said how he wanted the world to treat his son with kindness and respect.
“I want the world to be kind to James.
“I want the world to treat him with kindness and respect,” he said.
Colin went on to say: “Once your child turns 21, they’re kind of on their own.
“All the safeguards that are put in place, special ed classes, that all goes away, so 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.”
Around the same time of his interview with the outlet, Colin announced the launch of the Colin Farrell Foundation.
The foundation is “committed to transforming the lives of individuals and families living with intellectual disability through education, awareness, advocacy, and innovative programs”.
