Dancing king Mike Myers

(BANG) - Mike Myers is having dance lessons, according to his 'Love Guru' co-star Verne Troyer.

The 'Austin Powers' actor was so worried about starring alongside dance professional Justin Timberlake in his new movie that he took private lessons to ensure he was prepared.

Verne said: "Mike dances in between takes all the time. He has the sound guy play some music after takes and he just starts dancing. He plays The Jonas Brothers, some rock, maybe some alternative. He's got some moves - I think he's taken lessons! I'm not saying he is a Justin Timberlake but he's OK!"

Verne - who has starred with Mike in three movies - also revealed he has no hesitation when Mike asks him if he wants to be in one of his films.

He added to Total Film magazine: "Mike Myers does complete me by offering me these roles. He is a great guy, very friendly, very funny ... I've gone to dinner with him several times. It's been great to get to know the real Mike Myers - he can be quite a serious guy. If Mike Myers offers me a role I don't have to read the script - I'm in!" (C) BANG Media International
