Mike Myers appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday. Naturally, the conversation got around to the recent death of Myers costar Verne Troyer , who played Mini-Me in two Austin Powers movies.

Myers praised Troyer as a great physical comedian who elevated what was supposed to be a prop role off the page.

But the best part of the chat was an anecdote Myers shared about his visit to the White House for a state dinner with President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It basically summed up everything you need to know about how popular Troyer was.

Well let Myers explain.

I met President Obama and he said, Mike, so glad to see you. Hows Mini-Me? ... And I said, Hes great.

Then I met Trudeau, Myers told Kimmel. He said, Buddy, hows it going? Hows Mini-Me?

Verne just brought so much love to people, Myers said.
