Verne is has a huge chip on his shoulders and lies(or grossly exaggerates) everything.
Oh well, the guy is 3 fucking feet tall, who could blame him for being bitter? 
I saw a show on MTV called something like 'Hollywood's biggest fuckup's" Where Verne was featured on a real life program, getting absolutely waisted, jayriding his scootmobil, buttnaked and eventually taking a leak, right of the mobil. Classic!
