“They’re sick of me playing the bad guy,” he explained.

“The ensuing nightmare fuel filled Henry with a sense of dread right before bedtime.

“That was a parental dropping of the ball of epic proportions,” he said.

Despite his son’s apparent terror, Farrell said they watched the movie’s second half the next day.

“He says, ‘yo Dad, do not wear the short shorts,'” Farrell said.

“And I tell him, ‘They feel good.’

It’s not a fashion thing.”

Despite Farrell’s occasional slip ups, he and his son have also displayed a close bond.

Despite his father’s perceived hiccups, Henry said he thinks Farrell is a good dad.

“He’s definitely nice,” he said.

Farrell also has a close bond with his older son,James, who has Angelman syndrome.

Clearly, Farrell is dedicated to being a great dad to his kids.
