Verne Troyer in CBB?

7 October 2008 02:21pm

Verne Troyer, known for his role as Mini Me in the Austin Powers film series, is apparently one of the celebrities poised to enter the Big Brother house.

The diminutive star wants to show viewers another side of his character, the Daily Star reports.

"A lot of people just look at somebody of my stature as being an elf or a leprechaun. I'd rather look beyond that. I can do many things," Verne reportedly said.

Cliff Richard and Whitney Houston are also rumoured to be entering the house, although neither have given a comment to confirm.
