The Harry Potter star recently opened up about the family loss, admitting “you never get over it”.
The Tenable host addressed coming to terms with losing a child in a new interview.
The Star Wars actor said that he would not wish the “devastating” experience on anyone.
He told People: “I think it brings you closer together, or something like that, but it’s an experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone, it’s devastating.
“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.”

Warwick added: “I think the losses shaped our family dynamic, we love Annabelle and Harrison all that more because they’re here with us.”
Before their two children were born, the couple tragically lost two sons.
Their first son, Lloyd, was born in 1991, with both of his parents’ conditions.
Sadly, his lungs were too small to support normal function and he died at just nine days old.
“It’s something that a baby won’t survive. But Lloyd he survived for nine days, but yeah he was beautiful… but it was a tough time. And yeah, we had a stillborn too.”
Warwick was born with a rare condition called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SED), a rare disorder of bone growth that results in dwarfism.
His wife Samantha has achondroplasia, a bone growth disorder that causes disproportionate dwarfism.
Their children Annabelle and Harrison have inherited their father’s condition and are both aspiring actors, having appeared in Harry Potter.
