Verne Troyer announces autobiography

Verne Troyer has said that he is writing his autobiography.

The 40-year-old started his acting career as a stunt double before moving onto the hugely successful Austin Powers film franchise and a succession of Hollywood roles.

In 2008, he was involved in a sex tape scandal and earlier this year, he finished fourth in Celebrity Big Brother.

Contactmusic quotes Troyer as saying: "I actually started writing [an] autobiography. I've got a few chapters done. There will be a lot of stories and a lot will probably involve the Playboy mansion - I'm a regular!"
