Hobbit forming: how Dominic Monaghan became obsessed with scorpions

To be part of one cultural phenomenon could be considered fortuitous. To be central to two looks downright spooky. Such is the life of Dominic Monaghan, the puckish Mancunian actor who played Merry, a hobbit in the Lord of the Rings movies. A year after that trilogy ended, he was the drug-addled rock star Charlie Pace in Lost, one of the most mind-bending and widely watched TV series of all time. Today, Monaghan is speaking to me via Zoom from his home in Los Angeles. “Look down from the D in the Hollywood sign,” he says, “go over about a mile, and that’s me.” He’s sporting a Manchester United tracksuit top and reflecting on his Lost years.

He did, however, note that the training for the series was so intense that he and his fellow co-stars didn't have the luxury of the time to spend coping with the change to the project.
