Warwick Davis suffers from an extremely rare condition. He has been living with Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenital (SED).
The SED is a rare genetic condition that causes dwarfism. It causes skeletal abnormalities that mostly affect the spine and the long bones of the arms and legs, as well as short height. Often children suffering from the condition may have vision and hearing issues.
Nevertheless, Davis has always showcased his talent in the entertainment industry. His health condition has never been a barrier to him.
In past, the ITV host has opened up about health problems he faces. In 2015, he spoke with The Guardian:
‘Well, as you get older, it gets worse. Your joints, for a start. My hips are dislocated, so they’re sitting out here. I have very painful knees. I had surgery on my feet when I was very young. There’s a risk of retinal detachment, but I know the signs now.’
‘And then, yeah, you wake up, the alarm goes, it takes a good half hour to get moving, we’re both like, ‘Uggggh.’ Imagine the worst flu you’ve had, every day it’s like that.’
