British actor Warwick Davis received a BAFTA Film Festival scholarship from the hands of Harry Potter star Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy. Davis told the media a funny story: he found out about the award while sitting on the toilet.
"I found out about it last November while I was sitting on the toilet reading my email. I saw an email from BAFTA with a letter attached saying, 'You have been awarded a fellowship,'" Warwick Davis said.
At first, the actor thought he had been sent the email by a scammer. However, after checking the address, he realized that the email was from BAFTA.
"Then I was so happy, I jumped out of the toilet and ran around the house, telling the news to the children and the dog," says Warwick Davis.
Davis first gained fame at the age of just 11, playing the teddy bear Ewok in the 1983 Star Wars film Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. He soon landed the lead role in the 1988 film Willow. His other roles include Labyrinth, the BBC's British adaptation of C. S. Lewis's Narnia books, Channel 4's Gulliver's Travels, the classic TV series The Tenth Kingdom, and the 2013 film Jack the Giant Slayer.
You may know Davis as the star of "Harry Potter." There, he played Professor Filius Flitwick and several of the goblins from Gringotts.
