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

Most of Verne Troyer’s onscreen partners like to humiliate him (sometimes in distinctly NSFW ways), but the late Heath Ledger was different.

After working with Ledger in Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus just before his death, Troyer was moved to replicate part of the actor’s signature—a heart—as a tattoo on his hand. 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.” [ONTD]
