Dominic’s Toy Joy
May 21st, 2007
Dominic Monaghan is proud his likeness has been used to make a host of action figures.
The actor has been turned into a toy on four occasions, three times for his role as Merry the hobbit in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ films and now again as rocker Charlie in cult plane crash show ‘Lost‘, and admits the figures fill him with a child-like sense of excitement.
Dominic said: “I had three done for the Lord of the Rings movies so the ‘Lost’ one is my fourth, which is pretty crazy! When I was growing up, ‘Star Wars’ figures were a pretty big deal for me, so if it gets kids excited in the same way as I was about ‘Star Wars’ then that’s really cool.”
The British actor - who is rumored to be engaged to his ‘Lost’ co-star Evangeline Lilly - has also revealed he is nothing like his character Charlie.
He explained: “There is a frustrated rock star in me, but Charlie is probably the most unlike me of any part I’ve ever played. Even Merry the hobbit was me when I was 11-years-old.”
