Colin Farrell looks smart in a navy blue suit as he films for season two of Apple TV series Sugar in Los Angeles
Colin Farrell looked smart as he filmed scenes for season two of his Apple TV series Sugar in Los Angeles on Friday. The Irish actor, 48, who stars as lead character John Sugar in the neo-noir mystery drama, wore a navy blue suit as he got in character. He completed his look with a black tie and added a pair of brown leather dress shoes. Colin shielded his eyes with a pair of square-framed sunglasses and was seen chatting with other members of the cast. The series follows private investigator John as he investigates the disappearance of a wealthy movie producer's granddaughter. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Colin revealed the reason behind his decision to place his adult disabled son into care - explaining that he wants to ensure his son's care is properly managed while he and his ex-partner are still alive, and to provide him with a strong sense of community. The actor previously explained how son James, 21, was heartbreakingly misdiagnosed with cerebral palsy before doctors eventually confirmed he was suffering from Angelman syndrome. Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects the nervous system, causes severe physical and intellectual disability. Speaking to Candis Magazine, Colin revealed he and his ex Kim Bordenave have made a decision and plan to settle James into a long-term care facility. He said: 'It's tricky, some parents will say: "I want to take care of my child myself." And I respect that. '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? 'Then he's a ward of the state and he goes where? We'd have no say in it.' He and Kim are hoping to 'find somewhere we like where he can go now, while we're still alive and healthy, that we can go and visit, and we can take him out sometimes'. Colin continued: 'We want him to find somewhere where he can have a full and happy life, where he feels connected.' WHAT IS CEREBRAL PALSY? Cerebral palsy is the name for a set of conditions affecting movement and co-ordination stemming from a problem with the brain that takes place before, during or soon after birth. Symptoms are not typically obvious immediately after a child is born — but instead normally become noticeable after two or three years. They include delays in reaching development milestones, such as: not sitting by eight months; not walking by 18 months; appearing too stiff or too floppy; walking on tip-toes; weak arms or legs; fidgety, jerky or clumsy movements; random, uncontrolled movements; Difficulty speaking, swallowing or seeing — along with learning difficulties — can also be symptoms. Cerebral palsy symptoms can be caused by a number of things and are not necessarily an indication of the condition, which can occur if a child's brain does not develop normally while in the womb, or is damaged during or soon after birth. Causes include bleeding in the baby's brain, reduced blood and oxygen supply, infection caught by the mother while pregnant, asphyxiation during a difficult birth, meningitis or a serious head injury - though the precise cause is often not clear. There is no cure currently, but physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and medication are often used as treatment. Each person living with the condition is affected in a different way, but generally speaking most children live into adult life and some can live for many decades. The Phone Booth actor previously discussed his first-born son's condition and said medical advice was sought after James missed developmental milestones and struggled to sit up or crawl as a baby. Colin explained how many sufferers of the rare syndrome are often misdiagnosed with cerebral palsy due to both conditions having similar symptoms. He told People: '[James] couldn't sit up. He wasn't crawling. I think he was a year and a half when we took him to get really checked out, and he was diagnosed as having cerebral palsy.' Cerebral palsy is the name for a set of conditions affecting movement and co-ordination stemming from a problem with the brain that takes place before, during or soon after birth. Difficulty speaking, swallowing or seeing — along with learning difficulties — can also be symptoms. Colin said: 'It was a common misdiagnosis, because it shared a lot of the same characteristics. And that was a downer for sure.' The Oscar nominee revealed that, when James was only about two and a half years old, a pediatric neurologist suggested he be tested for Angelman syndrome. Recalling the moment he received the diagnosis, he shared: 'I remember the first two questions I asked were, "What's the life expectancy and how much pain is involved?" 'And the doctor said, "Life expectancy, as far as we can tell, is the same for you and for me, and pain, no."' A doctor had noticed an unusual symptom that prompted him to test for Angelman syndrome. Colin explained: 'One of the characteristics of Angelman syndrome is outbreaks of laughter. And the doctor saw that James was laughing a lot and doing this movement [he waves his hands],' the father-of-two shared. Angelman syndrome is also characterized by seizures, which Colin - who also shares son Henry Tadeusz, 15, with Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus, 41 - said is 'one of the things that parents struggle with greatly'. He added: 'Thankfully, James hasn't had a breakthrough seizure now in about 10 or 11 years, but I've been in the back of ambulances, I've been in the hospital with him. 'I've done Diastat [a sedative] up his rectum to get him out of a seizure that lasted longer than three minutes. Finding the right amount of medication that doesn't have adverse effects — that's all very tricky business.' The actor is now launching the Colin Farrell Foundation to provide support, education, and advocacy for adults with intellectual disabilities. 'This is the first time I've spoken about it, and obviously the only reason I'm speaking is I can't ask James if he wants to do this,' he said. The proud dad stated that his eldest son 'has worked so hard all his life, so hard'. He said: 'Repetition, repetition, balance, his jerky gait. When he started feeding himself for the first time, his face looks like a Jackson Pollock by the end of it. But he gets it in, he feeds himself beautifully. I'm proud of him every day, because I just think he's magic.' Colin also described watching his son take his first steps just before his fourth birthday. Detailing the 'profound' moment to People, Colin said: 'I knew they [James's carers] were working on walking. And I stood over there, and she let him go, and he just came to [me]. He shares his younger son Henry with Ondine co-star, Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus (pictured, in 2010) whom he dated from from approximately late 2008 to early 2010 'It was so profound. It was magic. 'I'll never forget just the face of determination on him as he walked toward me. He took, like, six steps, and I burst into tears.' James's condition is severe enough that he is nonverbal and requires the help of a live-in caregiver to accomplish his day-to-day tasks. When James was four, Colin went public with his Angelman Syndrome, saying his son had demonstrated 'amazing courage' in the face of his condition. Shortly before James turned 18, Colin and Kim filed to obtain a conservatorship of him, noting he still needed help with tasks like getting dressed and making meals. He later went on to reveal that he and James's mother make sure to share in the smallest victories and enjoy the milestones whatever age they happen - including James's first words aged six, being able to feed himself at 19, and getting his seizures under control. Colin has maintained a very private life and has not spoken about his son in great detail until recently, although he told InStyle he first decided to 'talk publicly about the pride and joy I had in our son' while attending the 2007 Special Olympics. He said: 'He has enriched my life, but I don't want to minimize the trials that so many families go through; the fear, consternation, frustration, and pain... When you're the parent of a child with special needs, it's important to feel that you're not alone.' Discussing being a parent to a child with disabilities, the Hollywood star said that James was the main reason he was able to get sober. Colin and James's mother Kim dated from 2001 to 2003. He later had Henry with his Ondine co-star Alicja, whom he dated from from approximately late 2008 to early 2010. What is Angelman syndrome? Angelman syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the nervous system and causes severe physical and learning disabilities. A person with Angelman syndrome will have a near-normal life expectancy, but they will need support throughout their life. Characteristics of Angelman syndrome A child with Angelman syndrome will begin to show signs of delayed development at around six to 12 months of age, such as being unable to sit unsupported or make babbling noises. Later, they may not speak at all, or may only be able to say a few words. However, most children with Angelman syndrome will be able to communicate using gestures, signs or other systems. The movement of a child with Angelman syndrome will also be affected. They may have difficulty walking because of issues with balance and co-ordination (ataxia). Their arms may tremble or make jerky movements, and their legs may be stiff. Several distinctive behaviours are associated with Angelman syndrome. These include: * frequent laughter and smiling, often with little stimulus * being easily excitable, often flapping the hands * being restless (hyperactive) * having a short attention span * trouble sleeping and needing less sleep than other children

Meghan makes stark motherhood confession as she gives Archie and Lilibet update
Speaking on the final episode in the first series of her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast, Meghan Markle talks about the difficulties of trying to grow her business while raising her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Meghan Markle has given a rare update on her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while making a candid confession about juggling motherhood and her business. The Duchess of Sussex revealed the challenges faced by female entrepreneurs like herself, who choose to grow a business while raising children in the final episode of her podcast, Confessions Of A Female Founder. Meghan made these comments while expressing her admiration for podcast guest Sara Blakely, founder of shapewear clothing company Spanx and mother of four. The Duchess told her, "The amount of what you have created, evolved through the level of what you have done while having this many children, all at that age. It's something that I think people often forget." Discussing her own experiences, Meghan added: "People forget that Lili is three, and Archie is five. So you look at the past five, six years of my life, it's yes, with being pregnant or with a newborn or with a toddler, and then another one." Sara then added: "How are those cute little munchkies?" To which Meghan replied: "Oh my gosh, I'll send you some pictures, they are so grown." Meghan stepped back from being a senior working royal and started a new life in the US when Archie was 10 months old, and has recently been focusing on launching her own As Ever brand and lifestyle Netflix series. She has started sharing more and more photos of her children on her Instagram account, although all are carefully curated not to show their faces. Just days ago, she shared a clip of her and her daughter Lilibet beekeeping in matching protective suits. Meghan posted the short video capturing the sweet moment to her Instagram story to the tune of Sugar, Sugar by fictional band The Archies. The footage showed the duchess walking hand in hand with Lilibet, who ambled along in rainbow-coloured wellies. Meghan let go of the three-year-old's hand for a brief moment when they neared the hive, leaning down to rub her daughter's back before taking her hand again. She also shared images of the young princess last week, along with snapshots of Archie and Prince Harry, as part of a celebration post for her and Harry's seventh wedding anniversary. Among the images were numerous pictures of the couple embracing and one of the duke tenderly cradling the head of one of their children as a swaddled newborn. There was also a baby scan labelled Archie, a photo of Archie kissing Lili on the forehead, and a number of notes, including a central one in Meghan's handwriting reading "Our love story." Elsewhere in the podcast, Meghan expanded on other challenges facing female chief executives, including what she called a "guilt mentality" over having a lot of money. "I think so many women, especially, were taught to not even talk about money. And there's lots of guilt mentality surrounding having a lot", she said. "It wasn't until the 70s that women could even have a credit card, a line of credit on a credit card without her husband." The duchess also spoke of the importance of self-care, saying: "I remember my acupuncturist in the UK said to me, and it has always stayed with me, he said, if the baby's crying, treat the mother. It all starts with us. Good Lord, we have to take care of ourselves first." Get Royal Family updates straight to your WhatsApp!

Prince Harry Makes Surprise Trip to Shanghai and Tells Crowd a Major Lesson He's Learned in His Life
Prince Harry made a surprise trip to Shanghai, China to both give a keynote speech and host an executive summit. The Duke of Sussex traveled to Shanghai in support of his environmental initiative Travalyst, which he founded in 2019. Travalyst—which just celebrated its five-year anniversary last year—exists to help promote and give resources for environmentally-conscious week after his and Meghan Markle's seventh wedding anniversary, Prince Harry traveled to Shanghai, China to give a keynote speech and host an executive summit. The Duke of Sussex spoke at the Group's Envision 2025 Summit and hosted the Travalyst Executive Summit on May 26, according to a release sent to InStyle on Monday. In his speech at the event, Harry—who founded the nonprofit Travalyst in 2019 to help the world travel more sustainably—made a bold call to climate action, urging the Asia-Pacific travel industry to support sustainable travel and tourism. Harry's speech came after the release of Travalyst's Five-Year Milestone Report, where the organization highlighted travelers' power to drive positive change. Along with Harry's speech, this week Travalyst also launched its first two-day Executive Summit with industry leaders and policymakers, which is the first in a global series to drive action in the industry. 'Climate change isn't just an environmental challenge—it's a critical business emergency, costing the global economy $143 billion annually,' Harry said in his remarks. 'Now is the moment for the industry to reaffirm its commitment to being a force for good. Challenges will undoubtedly rise, but if there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that meaningful change never comes easily.' 'The true measure of our commitment is how we respond when the path becomes difficult,' he said. 'We must never give up.' Since its formation in 2019, Travalyst has grown from five partners to 13, the release added, representing a combined market value of over $3 trillion. As Harry traveled to Shanghai, his wife Meghan and daughter Princess Lilibet were seen taking part in some mother-daughter beekeeping on May 25, which Meghan posted to her Instagram Story set to the tune of The Archies' hit 'Sugar, Sugar.'

Meghan Markle Shares Adorable Video of Lilibet in Her Beekeeper's Outfit
On Sunday, Meghan Markle offered a glimpse of a special mother-daughter activity with Lilibet that included some adorable outfits for both the duchess and the princess. In a video she shared in her Instagram Stories, the Duchess of Sussex is holding her 3-year-old daughter's hand as they approach a beehive and smoker, set to the song 'Sugar, Sugar' by The Archies. Both Meghan and Lilibet are in white beekeeper's uniforms with net-covered hats and gloves. Lilibet also has on a pair of bright rainbow galoshes. At one point in the clip, she looks up towards her mom as though for reassurance. In another sweet moment, Meghan leans down to talk to Lilibet, resting her gloved hand on her back and smiling. The duchess has talked about her interest in beekeeping before on her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, where she was filmed handling a hive and grabbing some fresh honey. 'It's like also that little reminder to do something that scares you a little bit. I think that's part of it, but I'm trying to stay in the calm of it. Because it's beautiful to be this connected,' she said of the hobby. Meghan's sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, is also a fan of beekeeping and has hives at her and Prince William's Norfolk home, Anmer Hall. In 2023, she shared a picture of herself in her beekeeping outfit for World Bee Day on the Prince and Princess of Wales's Instagram account. 'Bees are a vital part of our ecosystem and today is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the essential role bees and other pollinators play in keeping people and the planet healthy,' she shared in the caption. The family tradition continues into the next generation.
