Sad news from the Entertainment world: The actor and musician Verne Troyer has passed away at the age of 49. Verne Troyer fans have reacted on Twitter, where many have shared their favorite moments of his work as Mini-Me in the Austin Powers series.
On April 21, the actor’s family released a statement on Instagram that reads:
Fans have taken to Twitter to honor the actor, best known for his roles in the Austin Powers films.
One fan posted a broken heart emoji in reference to the news and even referred to Troyer as the „GOAT“ (a popular acronym for Greatest Of All Time) of the Austin Powers series. Troyer appeared as Mini-Me in the second and third installments of the trilogy.
Another fan posted a .gif of Troyer from the films, writing that the actor „embracing his dwarfism“ led to his iconic role in the industry.
Comedy writer Sean O’Connor commented on Twitter that Troyer was „too good for this world“, which is lovely.
This radio host reflected on the time Troyer joined him for a show nearly a decade earlier. The actor looks exactly the same!
Someone who trained with Troyer posted this unbelievable photo of the duo hitting the gym.
A content creator who uses the handle „Daft Limmy“ remembered how „down to earth“ and remarkably funny he was to spend time with.
Little was as iconic as this scene from Austin Powers 2. Troyer’s willingness as a full-grown man to be worn in a Baby Bjorn by comedian Mike Myers was truly something else.
More to come…
