Warwick Davis, known for his role in Star Wars, shares a touching tribute to his late wife, calling her his “favourite human” and expressing how much he misses her hugs. Samantha passed away at the age of 53.
The Star Wars actor describes his wife Samantha as his “favourite human” after she dies aged 53.
In a statement, the actor expressed his heartfelt tribute to his beloved spouse, who passed away on March 24th, noting, “I deeply miss her warm embraces.” He added that her departure has created a significant void in their family’s life. Mrs. Davis was not only his life partner but also his co-star in the final installment of the Harry Potter series in 2010, where she portrayed a goblin character. The couple, residing close to Peterborough, first crossed paths on the set of the film Willow in 1988 and tied the knot three years later. Describing his late wife as “Sammy,” the Star Wars icon hailed her as his most cherished confidante and unwavering supporter throughout his career.
“She possessed a unique charm, always finding the bright side of life with a sharp wit and a contagious laughter, even at my most mediocre jokes,” he expressed.
Davis emphasized that with his wife by his side, he felt invincible, remarking, “It felt like having a superpower.”
“Without Sammy, there would have been no Tenable quiz show, no Willow series, and certainly no Idiot Abroad Series 3,” he reflected.
He further noted that it was his wife who convinced comedian Ricky Gervais to include him alongside Karl Pilkington for the travel series.
Their children, Harrison and Annabelle, echoed their father’s sentiments in their tribute, stating, “Her love and joy guided us throughout our lives.”
“Mum was not only our mother but also our closest confidante, and we are deeply grateful for the love she shared with us,” they affirmed.
Davis portrayed both Professor Flitwick and the goblin Griphook across all eight installments of the Harry Potter franchise. Additionally, he contributed to various roles in the Star Wars saga and starred in both the original Willow film and its 2022 sequel.
Samantha Davis, alongside her acting roles including the children’s series Through the Dragon’s Eye (1989), co-founded the charity Little People UK in 2012 with her husband.
The host of Tenable praised her for her passion in helping people without judgement, noting her genuine listening ear and time for everyone. Despite facing mobility challenges in recent years, she remained determined not to let it affect her quality of life.
Disney, the network airing the Willow series, described Samantha as a cherished member of the UK film and TV community, expressing their condolences to the Davis family during this challenging period.
As many of you know, my wife Samantha tragically passed away recently. She was the most loving, kind-hearted and beautiful person I had ever known. Her absence has left a huge void in my life and every day I find myself missing her hugs, her smile, and her laughter. It’s amazing how someone can have such a profound impact on your life, and I will forever be grateful for the time we had together. So, here’s to you, Samantha – thank you for being my rock, my love, and my best friend. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest in peace. Warwick Davis.
