“But my horror would be, and if I had a heart attack tomorrow, and, God preserves us, James’ mother, Kim, has a car accident and she is taken too-and then James is alone? So he is a state service and where he would have said,” he said.
Farrell revealed that he and Bordenave, an old model, are looking for an appropriate installation for James and their families.
