By an interesting coincidence, Barbara Bush's beloved pet Maltipoo was actually named "Mini-Me" (because it shared her fluffy white hair).

He was on Celebrity Big Brother UK a few years ago. He came across as quite melancholy. At one point, he got drunk, flirted with Mutya from Sugababes and crashed his mobility scooter into the Diary Room door.

I remember 10 or so years ago he was a fucking mess on VH1's The Surreal Life reality show (a house filled with celebs for a period of time). He got drunk and peed on camera. He didn't seem happy

by Anonymousreply 28April 21, 2018 9:22 PM

@R25 - During one of the scenes from this show, Adrienne Curry's ex-husband (The Brady Bunch guy) picked him up and threw him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes to carry him off to bed to sober up, with Verne protesting, saying repeatedly, "Imawwite, Imawwite, Imawwite."

Translation: "I'm all right."

50's not young for a midget. They have all sorts of health problems as they age, frequently back and joint problems. His drinking might have been a form of self-medication.

I know the first Austin Powers film was popular, but I don't think the franchise would have become so massive without Mini-Me. I remember him featuring quite a bit in the promo for the sequels.

The official statement on his Instagram page explicitly mentions suicide. Very sad.

[quote] Verne was also a fighter when it came to his own battles. Over the years he’s struggled and won, struggled and won, struggled and fought some more, but unfortunately this time was too much.

[quote] During this recent time of adversity he was baptized while surrounded by his family. The family appreciates that they have this time to grieve privately.

[quote] Depression and Suicide are very serious issues. You never know what kind of battle someone is going through inside. Be kind to one another. And always know, it’s never too late to reach out to someone for help.

According to his Wiki bio, he has Amish relatives. Interesting. If his family members are religious nutters and he offed himself, then don't expect a clear statement on his cause of death to be released.

Admittedly, I'm morbidly curious as to how a 2'8" guy would go about killing himself (that is, if he indeed did). Best bet would be intentional OD'ing, but I wonder if he is even heavy enough to die by hanging?

I saw him in midtown once, near Rockefeller Center. I couldn't believe my eyes and then I was terrified he was going to be stepped on and then I noticed his disproportionately large shoes made of really nice fucking leather. And I thought, "Well, if he can afford shoes that nice, there's probably a bodyguard somewhere nearby to keep him from getting punted by pedestrians."

Damn he seriously was tiny, even by dwarf standards. He almost makes Wee Man from Jackass look normal-sized.

And I knew I was going to be traumatized by watching R93, yet I did anyway. Now I'll never be able to get the sound of of Verne orgasming out of my head. The funny part to me was how the woman didn't even bother pretending that she could feel anything and just quietly lay there patiently until he finished. How could that not feel like you're getting fucking by a baby?
