Hilarious Video: Helena Bonham Carter and Warwick Davis on HBO’s “Life’s Too Short”

by Keith Hawk · March 5, 2012

Warwick Davis’ new hit series on HBO, Life’s Too Short, recently featured Oscar-nominated actress Helena Bonham Carter – who portrayed Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter film series – in a very funny skit.

Helena was playing a ghastly version of herself in the skit who not only refused to work with Warwick Davis as a stand-in for an absent child actor, but also said she couldn’t work with him because of the “way it [Davis] looked.”

The director not only gave in to the brilliant actress, but replaced Warwick with a trash can with a face painted on it.

Check out Warwick’s hit comedy show Life’s Too Short, which airs Sundays at 10:30pm EST on HBO.
