The famous American stand-up and actor Vern Troyer was born on January 1, 1969 in the city of Centerville, Michigan, USA. Vern's father, Ruben Troyer, had been a repair technician all his life, and his mother, Susan Troyer, worked in a factory. In addition to Verne himself, the family had two more children - Deborah Troyer and Devon Troyer. Verne was born in an ordinary family, all his relatives are above average, but Verne himself is very small.
Troyer's school years
The fact that Verne Troyer is a dwarf (his height does not exceed 81 cm) did not prevent him from finding his calling and becoming a person who is known and loved all over the world. After leaving school, in 1987, the young man decidedly chose the profession of actor. Verne always remembers school years with a good feeling, because thanks to his charm and inner charm, he easily found friends and did not feel like everyone else. According to him, only once he had to endure a serious unpleasant conflict, when in high school a black boy was transferred to their school, insulting him. Then Verne was able to fend for himself and this even more inspired in him sympathy and respect for his peers. The American dwarf movie actor attributes a special role in his life to his brother, Devon Troyer, who, being of normal growth, could always stand up for his brother and did not allow anyone to offend him in his childhood.
Growth is not an obstacle to fame
Verne Troyer began his film career in 1994, starring in the comedy film "Baby for a Walk," where he was an understudy for a 9-month-old baby. Over the next 5 years, the dwarf actor constantly acted in films, but played mainly episodic roles. In addition, from the very beginning of his career, Vern worked as a stuntman, performing all the tricks on his own, even truly dangerous ones.
The fame was brought to the actor by the picture about Austin Powers “The Spy Who Seduced Me”, where Vern played Mini-We. Since then, he has become recognizable and popular, and his demand for cinema has grown with each new film with his participation.
Personal life of Verne Troyer
In contrast to the generally accepted prejudices characteristic of people with ordinary growth, small people are no less popular and many like. There is no doubt that a huge role in their unique charm is played by willpower and true stamina, which must be developed in them over time. So Verne Troyer does not experience a lack of female attention, judging by the numerous rumors and photographs of the paparazzi.
At the beginning of his acting career, Vern is often removed for erotic magazines. He does not hide the fact that people of small stature can make good money on this. It can often be found in the company of beautiful models. According to Genevieve Gallen, an American model and ex-wife of Verne, the only problem for her in her relationship with her husband was his popularity with women, not his short stature. Of course, the young family had a hard time, because in addition to the crowds of besiegers of Verne, there were also his friends, many of whom did not accept Genevieve in their circle, seeing her as a “seeker of easy money”. All this led to a break. The girl could not withstand constant stress and became the initiator of a breakup. Verne Troyer officially broke up with his wife only a few months after she left him for another man.
