Malcolm Jamal Warner's powerful 'last message' leaves fans heartbroken
Malcolm-Jamal Warner's final personal Instagram video has moved fans with its inspirational message. The late Cosby Show star died aged 54 after drowning on a family holiday in Costa Rica earlier this week with tributes pouring in from across Hollywood from his former colleagues, friends and fans. He rose to fame for his portrayal of Theo Huxtable, the son of Bill Cosby's character Heathcliff Huxtable, in the sitcom, which ran from 1984 to 1992, ultimately securing him an Emmy nomination aged 16. In recent years, the screen star has appeared in 911 as Amir Casey and Fox show The Resident as Dr AJ Austin.

He tells the camera: 'I just wanted to spread some love and good cheer. You know, life is out here life-ing for me and for everybody else but just wanted to remind you as I remind myself that no matter what's going on, there's always a reason to smile. 'If you just take a minute to stop, take stock, I guarantee you can find at least one reason to smile. And if for some reason you can't find a reason to smile then that's probably the best time to be the reason for somebody else to smile. He wrapped up the video by saying 'peace and love and I'll be back soon'. His caption doubles down on the sweet message, adding: 'Be the reason someone smiles today…. or even tomorrow. Sending love to my IG fam. #blessingsabound.' 'What a guy, such a lovely person. This one really hurts.
