Genevieve Gallen is the ex-wife of the late diminutive actor Verne Troyer, known for his movie ‘Austin Powers’.

The 2 feet 8 inch Troyer was born with achondroplasia dwarfism, a genetic disorder that does not allow cartilage to form large bones in the body.
Troyer was born with achondroplasia dwarfism, which is a genetic disorder prevents cartilage from forming large bones in the body. He would move around with the help of a scooter.
Troyer who became popular as ‘Mini Me’ in Austin Powers, died at the age of 49 at a hospital in Los Angeles, following a prolonged battle with depression. At that time, he was in relationship with actress Brittney Powell, whom he met while filming Celebrity Wife Swap in May 2015.
Gallen met Troyer at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy mansion for the first time.
Genevieve Gallen was married to the late actor in 2004. At that time, when the pair met and were indulging in PDA, people and the media in general were happy to capture the 2 feet 8 inch man and the 6 feet 2 inch stunner together in a single frame. At that time, he was 33 years old and Gallen was 30.
While Troyer would exhibit an infectious self confidence, the biter truth was that he was enslaved by self-doubt and the fact that people would constantly state at him. Genevieve who was in a relationship with him, was happy to be his partner.
Having said that, there were reports that she had left him to be with a male stri*per. When interviewed, Genevieve always spoke of Troyer in high regard and said that she was a very happy woman with him. She said that her problem was that other women would vie for his attention and she would feel sidelined.
Troyer’s marriage to Genevieve lasted for only 2 months in 2004. When it was confirmed that she had eloped with a male stri*per, Troyer who didn’t want a costly divorce, gave her an offer of annulment, which she accepted. Genevieve stated that Troyer was suffering from high stress and resort to alcoholism.
