Actor Verne Troyer Passes Away.



Actor Verne Troyer, best known for his role as Mini-me in the Austin Powers comedies has died at the age of 49.

According to a statement shared on his social media channels, Troyer had been admitted to hospital earlier this month and was placed on life support. Having publicly battled with depression and alcoholism, the actor passed away on Saturday.

“It is with great sadness and incredibly heavy hearts to write that Verne passed away today,” the statement said. “Verne was an extremely caring individual. He wanted to make everyone smile, be happy, and laugh. Anybody in need, he would help to any extent possible. Verne hoped he made a positive change with the platform he had and worked towards spreading that message every day.”

Born in Michigan in 1969, Troyer began his career as a stunt double before going onto play other notable roles such as Griphook in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Coach Punch Cherkov in The Love Guru and Percy in Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

The actor also served as a guest General Manager on Monday Night Raw in November 2009. After engaging The Miz in a war of words, Troyer put the reluctant A-Lister into a match against future WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry.

My  condolences goes to Troyer’s family, friends and fans.

  Iranian women's football team goalkeeper, Zohreh Koudaei, has been accused of being a man by the Jordan Football Association after she saved two penalties for a crucial win against Jordan.  As a result of these saves in a penalty shoot out which ended 4-2, Iran earned a place at the Women’s Asian Cup for the first time in the country’s history. The cup will take place in India in 2022.  Jordan FA is now asking for a gender verification check. Lol.
