This Boy Is the Son of a Hollywood Star Who Put His Acting Career on Hold for Him – Their Story

Behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood lies the touching story of a devoted father who took a step back from his acting career to care for his son. Born with Down syndrome, the boy became his father’s world and the inspiration behind the actor’s most iconic role.

In the late 1990s, a rising Hollywood star and his then-wife, Lauren Lambert, eagerly awaited the arrival of their first child. During the pregnancy, all tests and sonograms indicated that the couple was expecting a healthy baby girl.

But on August 31, 1997, they were blessed with a baby boy instead. While they were overjoyed by his arrival, the doctor delivered unexpected news just 20 minutes later — their son had Down syndrome.

“I didn’t even know what Down syndrome was, not a clue,” the actor admitted. Shock and confusion quickly set in, and he began to question if he had done something to cause it.

“There wasn’t any family history; it made no sense,” he explained. The Hollywood star later learned that Down syndrome is the most common genetic disorder, occurring once in every 800 births, with no definitive explanation for why it happens.

In the days that followed, he and Lauren wrestled with feelings of guilt and fear. But as reality sank in, the actor made a life-changing decision — he would dedicate himself to learning everything he could about his son’s condition.
