"It's interesting to see what people are saying about me. I like keep up with the latest rumors! A while back there was a rumor that I was going to do a film with Demi Moore about the takeover of Commodore computers!"
About this Quote
Celebrity is its own kind of fan fiction, and Warwick Davis leans into that with a wink. The hook here is his casual curiosity: he frames gossip not as an intrusion but as a live feed of alternate realities where his career takes bizarre, internet-shaped detours. "I like keep up with the latest rumors!" reads like someone choosing to surf the wave rather than get dragged under it. For an actor whose visibility has often been filtered through franchises, prosthetics, and the public's tendency to reduce performers to types, there is something quietly assertive about claiming authorship over the story people tell about you - even if only by laughing at it.
The Demi Moore/Commodore computers rumor is the punchline because it is so wonderfully, specifically wrong. Not just "Warwick Davis is joining Marvel" wrong, but niche-historical, boardroom-drama, 80s-tech-ephemera wrong. It exposes how the rumor mill works: a few plausible ingredients (a recognizable star, a "based on true events" corporate saga, a whiff of nostalgia) get blended into a pitch that sounds like it could exist, somewhere, in the streaming-content multiverse.
Subtext: Davis understands that fame comes with a parallel career as an imaginary person. By treating rumors as entertainment, he defuses their power and signals a kind of professional agility. The broader cultural context is a media ecosystem where speculation is content, and "news" about a celebrity often precedes - or replaces - anything they've actually made. His joke lands because it's not defensive; it's collaborative, inviting us to notice how absurd the machine is without pretending any of us are outside it.
