Warwick Davis has opened up about the lasting impact the death of his firstborn child has had on him.

Davis said the grief from losing is child is something you 'never get over' in a new interview.

"You do learn to live with it. Eventually, over time, you’re able to better understand why it happened and can come to terms with it a bit more. But you never get over it."

The couple then lost a second child to miscarriage at 20 weeks, several years after Lloyd's death. They named their son George.

They are also parents to daughter, Annabelle, 25 and son, Harrison, 19.

"I think the losses shaped our family dynamic,’ he reflected. "We love Annabelle and Harrison all that more because they’re here with us."

Davis shared that the family will never forget their losses and are 'grateful' for the 'short time' they had with Lloyd and George.

"We’ll always remember what happened with George and Lloyd," he added. "We’ll always be grateful that we had them for the short time that we did."

Davis is starring in the new Disney+ series Willow, which is based on the cult 1988 film in which he portrays the titular Nelwyn farmer and aspiring sorcerer, Willow Ufgood.

Released to mixed reviews, it failed to turn into a major blockbuster however it became popular in subsequent years through strong home video sales and broadcasts on television.

The Lucasfilm-produced television series serves as a sequel and both of Davis’ children are involved in the show.

Annabelle Davis makes a guest appearance as Mims, Willow’s daughter while his son Harrison was his dad’s stunt double on set.

“So they said, ‘Who do you want as a double?’ I said, ‘Well, actually, my 18-year-old son is exactly the same height as I am.’ Same build, walks the same as I do.”

Willow is available to watch on Disney+ now.
