The hits just keep on coming. I know how hard it can be when you're jealous of your model girlfriend. Well, I can imagine how hard it can be. Well, I guess I can't imagine. Never mind.

Troyer's Insecurity Drove Him to Drink

imageInsecurity drove Austin Power star Verne Troyer to go on a drinking binge over unfounded fears his model girlfriend Genevieve Gallen was cheating on him. The pint-sized actor, who plays Mini Me in the spoof spy franchise, has remained insecure in his relationship with Gallen, and is desperately worried he will lose her. A source says, "Verne really had no reason to think Genevieve was cheating on him, but he is insecure at times and worries she will leave him for someone else." In an attempt to rid himself of the problems, which drove him to a near fatal drinking session, Troyer called his girlfriend and split up with her as he languished in hospital. However a few minutes later he called back to beg her to come back to him. Understanding Gallen says, "He's been under tremendous stress and he turned to other things to relieve that stress - like drinking. Everyone has had family or friends who have had a problem with drugs or drinking. It's nothing to be ashamed of."
