Verne Troyer Reveals His Heath Ledger Tattoo to British D-Listers

Kyle Buchanan · 01/06/09 08:38PM

Troyer recounted his memories in a sober, touching story that belied its setting: an episode of the UK's Celebrity Big Brother. Luckily, Troyer managed to keep the moment respectful; the only flicker of inappropriate reality show camp came just before he began, as the narrator noted, "4:48 pm. Coolio is in the kitchen."
