Austin Powers actor could go into the house
Tuesday, 7 October 2008
Verne Troyer is being lined up to star in the new series of Celebrity Big Brother.
The 2ft 8ins actor, 39, famous for his role as Mini-Me in the Austin Powers films, has been approached by producers.
Whitney Houston, Cliff Richard and Mutya Buena are also rumoured to be on the shortlist.
Verne, who was recently involved in a sex-tape scandal with ex-girlfriend Ranae Shrider, 22, has spoken in the past about his desire to be taken seriously.
‘A lot of people look at somebody of my stature as being a leprechaun,’ he explained. ‘I’d rather they look beyond that. I can do many things.’
Celebrity Big Brother returns to Channel 4 in January.
