Back in 2014, Warner reportedly confessed to having had a crush on Lisa Bonet, who played his sister on "The Cosby Show." However, the legendary actor admitted that he never had a shot with Bonet even though they were both about the same age.

Although his crush for Lisa is no longer there, Malcolm revealed that he still shared a strong bond with the actress as well as his other co-stars from the show.

Warner went on to attribute the show's success to the bond that existed between members of the cast. According to him, they all shared mutual respect and appreciation for each other.

Asides having plenty of fun on set, the actor also added that they all knew when to be serious and get to work.

Since the end of the show, the actor has lived a private life, but in 2014, it was reported that Malcolm welcomed his first child. Apart from being a father, Warner enjoys short films, poetry, and music as a bass player.
