Colin Farrell has praised his son James, who suffers from angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that impairs speech, movement and balance, saying he is an absolute stud.

The 'Dead Man Down' star told People Magazine that 10-year-old James is an amazing boy and breaks down boundaries every day.

The 37-year-old actor had previously told the publication that James really inspires him because everything he's achieved in his life has come through the presence and the kind of will that is hard work.

Farrell had said at the time that things like walking and talking and eating and feeding, all those things that so many of us naturally take for granted because they come so easily, to James, they come somewhat harder.
