Ty Warner, the reclusive billionaire who founded Beanie Babies, breaks his silence in the wake of the harsh portrayal of the mogul in the recent movie, “The Beanie Bubble.” Warner, who has not done a media interview since the 1990s, takes issue with how he was depicted and wishes a more handsome actor than Zach Galifianakis was cast to play him. The film credits former workers — based on Patricia Roche and Lina Trivedi — for fueling the craze for the plush toy.The Post: What would you like people to know about you?Warner: I think several adjectives apply: Creative, collaborative, competitive, critical, analytical, disciplined, focused, perfectionist, driven, caring, kind, sincere.
