Personal Life
Unlike most dwarfs (70%) who have a condition called achondroplasia, Davis' dwarfism is caused by an extremely rare genetic condition called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SED). He has said the only real drawback to being small was the associated health problems. Of his own dwarfism, Davis has said "As you get older, you can suffer from painful hips, and our joints wear a lot quicker than for people of average height".
Davis is married and has two children, who live in Yaxley near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. His wife, Samantha (b. 1971) has achondroplasia, whilst his children Annabel (b. 1997) and Harrison (b. 2003) also have SED. Samantha is the daughter of his business partner Peter Burroughs, and the sister of actress Hayley Burroughs.
Warwick Davis stated in interviews that Willow and Leprechaun are his favourite characters that he's played in his career.
