NEW YORK, June 15 (UPI) -- U.S. actor Verne Troyer, known for his small stature and large sense of humor, says he sees no point in getting upset about short jokes.
The actor, who played the character Mini-Me in the "Austin Powers" films, said while other diminutive individuals may be offended by height jokes, he has no problem with them, the New York Daily News reported Sunday.
"Like I said, get over it. I'm sorry; it doesn't offend me," he said. "Why should it offend you?"
The actor, who is to appear on the big screen opposite actress Jessica Alba and comedian Mike Myers in "The Love Guru," also said he is "tired" of being asked about his appearance on the reality series "The Surreal Life."
"I am tired of it. That's in the past. I did it and I'm just moving on," he told the newspaper. "I had understanding and learning from that experience. It was not a great time in my life. I'm very happy right now."
The newspaper said while appearing in the VH-1 series, Troyer was filmed naked and urinating in a weight room.
