Dominic Monaghan

In the careers of most actors, two or three films can be distinguished that made them really famous. Few people manage to jump over this bar, and some do not really try, being content with what they have. Among the latter is the English theater, film and television actor Dominic Monaghan, who became famous for his participation in The Lord of the Rings and Lost.

The future actor was born on December 8, 1976 in the family of the teacher of English language and literature Austin and the nurse Morin Monaganov. It happened in Berlin, where Austin worked under a contract.

By that time, the young couple already had one child - the son of Matthew, so Dominic Bernard Patrick Luke Monaghan (this is how the full name of the Honored Hobbit of Great Britain sounds) became their second and last child. In 1988 the Monaghan family moved to Manchester (England).

Dominic grew up a typical boy of his time - he loved to walk, read comics, watch films in cinemas and listen to music. Together with his older brother, he even tried to learn how to play the guitar and keyboards, but a new hobby made him abandon music (unlike Matthew, who is currently a popular singer and musician). Acting became this new hobby.

Star Wars forced the boy to go to the theater group - like his peers, Monaghan dreamed of being like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. However, instead they had to take part in productions of "Oliver Twist", "A Christmas Carol in Prose", as well as biblical scenes (since Dominic studied at a Catholic school).

At the age of 15, my father argued with Dom that he would not have time to read Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in six months. The boy won by reading the fantasy epic in just 2 months. Then he fell in love with this work, promising to once play in its production. He didn't even know how prophetic his words would turn out to be.

After school, Dominic goes to college. Studying English literature, drama and geography, the guy understands that his financial situation is far from ideal, so he gets a job first as a sorter of letters to the post office, and then as a realtor and a waiter.

In 1994, Monaghan managed to get a job at the local youth theater. Already after the first production, Dominic is noticed by the producer of the BBC company, and offers the role of a petty rogue - the assistant to the main character - in the TV series Hattie Wayntropp Investigations. Monaghan agrees. For the next three years he plays Jeffrey the thief.

Dominic made his film debut in 1997. This tape was the television thriller Hostile Waters, in which the main roles went to Rutger Hauer, Martin Sheen and Max von Sydow. It was a serious experience for a young actor.

In 1999, filming of the mini-series "Monsignor Renard" began. In it, Monaghan played the role of a character named Etienne Pierre Rollinger. In this role, he was seen by Peter Jackson, recruiting actors for his upcoming production of The Lord of the Rings.

Peter liked the play of Dominic and through agents he went to the actor. When Dominic realized where his name was, he could not believe his ears. He was full of delight, but only until the moment when he found out that he would not get the main role, but the role of Mary - friend of Frodo Baggins. After that, his ardor was tempered, but the enthusiasm remained. By the end of the filming, the actor no longer regretted anything.

These words are confirmed by the fact that the members of the Fellowship of the Ring got themselves real tattoos in the form of a stylized elven letter of the number 9 (the number of members of the Fellowship).

The role of the hobbit Mary made the actor famous throughout the world. Offers from different companies started pouring in. Poorly navigating in all this, Dominic miscalculated with the next project - "Spives" in 2004. Nobody remembers about this tape any more, unlike the next one - "The Cleaners" - filmed in the same year.

After The Cleaners, Monaghan decides to return temporarily to television. His choice falls on the new project "Lost". Dominic comes to the casting to try himself for one role, and gets another - the role of rocker Charlie Place. For her in 2005, the actor was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

After the death of his character in the third season (2008), the actor decides to return to the wide screen. The reason for the return was the offer of director Gavin Hood and screenwriter David Binneoff to star in the next part of the X-Men franchise “Wolverine. Start". Before the premiere of this film comic strip, Dominic manages to play in the horror film "Seller of the Dead".

In the next film - "Tour of a Millionaire" - Monaghan decided to try on himself the role of not only an actor, but also a producer. The experience turned out to be successful, and Dominic seriously thought about producing.

While acting in the series "Chuck" and "Remember What Will Come", the actor continues to act in films, but not so intensely. In 2016 and 2017, one film was released - "Pet" and "Anatomics", respectively.

On the set of Lost, Dominic struck up a relationship with his work partner, a Canadian actress named Nicole Evangeline Lilly. In 2005, they announced their engagement, but after a couple of years it was decided to part ways. In 2008, they made another attempt to get together, but it was unsuccessful, which upset the fans of Dominic and Evangeline.

In 2010, Monaghan starred in Eminem and Riana's music video for the song "Love the way you lie". Together with him, the gaining popularity actress Megan Fox appeared in the video. Thanks to the plot of the video, the media had thoughts about the relationship between the actor and the actress, but this information was immediately refuted.

Nothing is known about Dominic's other relationship. In 2014 and 2015, there was a lot of talk about Monaghan being gay. This was supported by his love of painting his nails and wearing skirts (the photos in which the actor looks like this can be found right now on the artist's Instagram profile). Dominic held on for two years and did not react in any way to such remarks, but then announced that he was metrosexual, not gay.

Currently, the actor is fully devoted to the project "Touching and Dangerous Adventures with Dominic Monaghan" - a sequel to "Dominic Monaghan and the Wild Things" (2013), as well as theatrical activities in London and Manchester. In addition, the actor hangs out at the recording studio, which he owns together with Elijah Wood. Dominic works with his brother and other performers.

From October 10-19, 2017, Monaghan will host the Screamfest horror film festival (which will premiere the prequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Leatherface). He will be accompanied by another member of the trinity of hobbits - actor Sean Astin.
