For some reason, Val Kilmer recently revealed to MTV that Mini Me was his idea.
“[I created] Mini-Me you know,” Kilmer confessed to MTV News, revealing once and for all his own role in skyrocketing Verne Troyer to fame. “[I was] the genesis of Mini-Me.”
“[On] ‘Island of Dr. Moreau’ I told Marlon Brando my plan to save my performance just in case there was a giant whole in the second half – I was going to strap the little man to my chest,” Kilmer insisted, completely unaware, perhaps, of how terribly strange that plan sounds even in retrospect. “And, you know, you can’t get around that visual. And then he [Brando] STOLE my little man!”
“I asked Mike Myers about it myself. He said, ‘absolutely’ [it came from that movie],” Kilmer said of the idea for Dr. Evil’s pint-sized clone. “Same studio made it. And he saw a screening and said, ‘that’s really funny.’”
I think Val Kilmer has made some awesome movies and is one of the best actors around, but it would be really sad if his strategy for staying relevant is claiming to have invented mini-me. That’s like saying you invented pogs, or the zip disk.

I use zip disks as pog slammers! BOO YA!
BTW, Val looks so much like me in that picture, I may have to go kill myself in a visually disturbing way.
/puts away Lifetime Achievement trophies for Pog and Zip Disk excellenceWhat a douchebag!
True sad/funny story: I have two completed screenplays on a Zip Disk, but I don’t have a Zip drive. So I went to the store to buy one and they laughed at me.
Val + ALF = VALF! He’s back, IN
PIGPOG FORM!Looks more like he invented turducken.
That hat really ties the outfit together.
Val’s mini-me is Peter Jackson.
Fat Bat-stard.
do you think he can still see his mini me under that gerth. vote reno for cotw! we’re funny too damn it!
Va’s mini-me has a mini fridge stocked with mini-donuts.
Dad?
…it would be really sad if his strategy for staying relevant is claiming to have invented mini-me. That’s like saying you invented pogs, or the zip disk.… or the Internet.
Holy forshak, Estelle Getty died today!
Let’s see… tell them I invented Mini-Me or tell them I’m preparing to star in a remake of Junior? Which is less embarrassing?
Man, Jeff Bridges really let himself go.
I heard a Top Gun sequel is in the works; Iceman better get in shape…Oh wait, he’s taking a dirtnap. At 30,000 feet?
Val’s mini-me is that weird growth on his elbow.
Can anyone else see the face of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the contours of Val’s torso?
I seriously had a dream about a zip drive last night. And a whooole bunch of SyQuest disks and an octopus, that loved me very very much.
"Anyone seen Verne lately?" "Check Kilmer’s belly button."
I was going to strap the little man to my chestwas this The Island of Dr. Moreau or Dr. Strangelove he was talking about?
Val’s eyes look so focused. Someone must have dropped a baby elephant.
McConaughey totally stole my creepy satisfaction with fucking freshmen girls.
"And then he [Brando] STOLE my little man!”Anybody else get a mental picture of Brando holding his own thumb between his index and middle fingers and saying to Kilmer "got your little man!"
Kowboy Kilmer’s fixin’ ta rustle up some grub!
Andy Garcia just called. He says "Fuck You, Val."
Val also invented the:Twinkie-wichCheetoh cubeand a way to eat salted meat products while you sleep.

I think MTV got confused. I talked to Val once, and he told me a similar story, but it had nothing to do with Vern Troyer, and everything to do with his penis wearing a tiny cowboy hat.
Pictured: Val spots an M&M in the sand at the beach!
I heard a Top Gun sequel is in the works…"I’ll be your buffalo chicken wing man any day."
He’s on a highway to the high cholesterol and blood pressure zone!
This is like when Screech used Betty Crocker’s spaghetti sauce recipe and Zack marketed it as "Screech’s Secret Sauce"."The sauce-a you can have, but the secret, she’s-a mine!"
Val thought he was getting a call for a sequel to The Saint, but it just turned out to be Vatican saying they’re going to canonize him the Patron Saint of fat tubs o’ shit.
Val hopes someone will invent that laser from Real Genius because a house full of popcorn was his idea, too.
Val also was the inspiration for Guyver. On his elbow, what appears to be a skin flap, is really a sheath for a retractable fork. His other elbow houses a spoon.
Isn’t that Mel Torme in the banner pic?
Hey! THis fuck already did a movie with mini-me! Willow, anyone? I mean, sure, sledding on a shield with a peck and a baby
is the fucking bombisn’t quite the same, but he killed a guy with a fucking SKULL MASK! WITH BLOOD!Oh, shit…new up.
Val also claims to have invented Mini Muffins, Mini Oreos, and the use of the Mini as Austin Power’s car.
Best.Batman.EVER.
If by "invent," he means ate, then I’d believe him. I’m starting to think that his portrayal of John Holmes wasn’t so much an acting job than it was Val re-enacting his Saturday afternoon.
In the alternare 1985, Biff is a tycoon from betting on sports using an almanac from the future.What do you mean that joke’s time has passed?
Doity-Harry… don’t get me started. I’m still trying to figure out a way to nail Peter Jackson for ripping off Willow.ADDENDUM: I am the greatest swordsman who ever lived.
Maybe he meant he invented "Maxi-Me".
That wasn’t how it happened at all. Mini-me was invented when my "Hugo Man of a Thousand Faces" doll came to life and stabbed the neighbor girl with a pair of rusty garden shears while we were watching Gilligan’s Island at grandma’s house. It was that episode where a lot of stuff happened and then they almost got rescued but then that cock-bag Gilligan fucked it all up for everybody.
Val’s Mini Me would be played by John Goodman.
And does anyone else think it’s a little scary that two great and distinguished actors somehow and got tied up in this whole Vern Troyer thing AND THEY BOTH GOT FAT! He’s like the un-cocaine!
