He is launching the Colin Farrell Foundation providing support for adults who have intellectual disabilities through advocacy, education, and programs. Farrell's 20-year-old son James has Angelman syndrome, a neurogenetic disorder. Farrell tells PEOPLE, "Once your child turns 21, they're kind of on their own...all the safeguards that are put in place...that all goes away." Farrell's foundation looks to bridge the gap between childhood and turning 21.
