  • April 2, 2012 - Colin Farrell talks with Ellen about his new movie, Total Recall, and then talks about his true passion, his two sons, James and Henry. Colin shares a personal moment with Ellen about his son James who has Angelman Syndrome. Angelman Syndrome is a neurogenetic disorder that affects one gene on Chromosome 15. Children born with Angelman Syndrome generally suffer from severe cognitive delay, difficulty with basic motor skills, speech impairment and restricted mobility. They are often identified by their captivating smiles, enthusiastic laughter and love of water. To find out more or to donate to ongoing research, please visit www.cureangelma...

    God bless his son. What a courageous Hollywood Star. I have a son with severe autism and epilepsy and it's great to see people bring awareness to special needs children.

    It took 5 years and tons of doctors telling us he was "just delayed" and "has autism" - to discover that our son probably has Angelmans. His teacher told us about it, we'd never even heard of it. Seeing and hearing Colin describe it is amazing, it's exactly what our son is like.

    It's all good that ellen is spreading awareness about this syndrome. My brother has it but there's another side to every story. The public and parents in general pay so much attention to these children, and I'm not sayin that is bad but they fail to notice what the siblings of these children go through.

      arielle cababat perhaps you could write a book about your experience of being a sibling of disease, syndrome etc.
      I am sure there are many who could benefit from your first person look of the other side of this experience.

    I met the scientist responsible for a lot of the research and development of the treatments today in a biology seminar at my college. He's really unbelievable and trying to go worldwide with his treatments and research. They've had good results with the drug therapy they're using right now so hopefully soon there will be a viable treatment option available for people and children who suffer from this genetic disorder.

    Colin seems very down to earth which is wonderful. Unfortunately this can not be said about Ellen. She just keeps talking (actually more chit-chatting) on a very superficial level, not really taking time to get deeper into the things her guests say. And she constantly tries to get the spotlights back on her with her so-called funny remarks, gifts, dance moves, etc.

    • @karenp.g.8227

      I'm not exactly understanding what you mean. Ellen is a comedian who works to help many. Obviously she can't help all.
      In your comment you state the he's great but watch Ellen get cameras back on her.
      1st Ellen isn't doing the camera role.
      2nd He's a lovely man who undoubtedly is funny too.
      A comedy show is focused on the comedian and a show she owns. Watch the Daily Show, Tonight show,..... find a show that the host isn't framed by the host. They see time and signal to slow or increase time. They must bc they are the professional ones getting to different topics.

    He says he got picked to take part in an Angelman's Syndrome clinical trial for a "cure". It's probably a trial for a new medication or therapy for associated symptoms. A cure would be a reversal of the chromosome deletion that causes it, which is impossible.

    • @karenp.g.8227
      @karenp.g.8227 Před 5 lety +2

      Correct. It's often several studies contained in one study. If change begins the study drifts to that particular behavior or medical care is pulled in by assuring nothing is life threatening. The goal is always the child's well being and studying them also contains an antecedent- behavior- result.
