Danny Dyer Says He Stopped Verne Troyer From Hitting On His Wife

Danny Dyer had to stop Verne Troyer hitting on his wife. The British actor was horrified when Verne - best known for player Mini-Me in the "Austin Power" movies - took a shine to his spouse Joanne Mas at the Pride of Britain Awards last week, forcing him to step in and halt his advances.

Danny explained: "The little fella couldn't give a f**k about the people being given awards and spent the entire time on his BlackBerry. The thing looked like a laptop next to him! Anyway, he left halfway through, but not before he'd tried cracking on to my missus! I didn't know what to do."

Danny decided the best option was tell Verne Joanne was unavailable.

He added to Zoo magazine: "He was giving her the eye and being a right old sleaze, but I wasn't sure if I could do anything. I can't give a midget a slap, can I? So, I decided to have a 'little' word with him. He soon got the message. I'd never have lived it down if Mini-Me had chatted up the missus!"
