Lost star finds himself in Mexico

 

Lost star Dominic Monaghan became depressed when he couldn’t find work after Lord of the Rings. The actor, who played hobbit Merry in the epic trilogy, struggled to get another job after spending almost four years filming and promoting the Tolkien films.

He confessed: “I wasn’t taking care of myself. I was sleeping in the day and getting up at night. I wrote 50 journals in a year. I’d never been depressed so I didn’t understand it. I felt like I had a big weight on my chest.”

Dominic, who plays drug addict rocker Charlie in Lost, believes he was typecast after Lord of the Rings, which didn’t help his chances of employment.

He explained to Britain’s New magazne: “I was being asked to audition for sh*t teen horror films, fantasy-type things. I was trying to work out where do I go from here, is this the best it’s ever going to be?

“I had enough money to get food, but I was kind of scuppering myself because I didn’t have a car or a phone.”

Dominic was eventually pulled out of his depression by his Rings co-star Billy Boyd. He revealed: “Billy was a big help. He was doing Master and Commander in Mexico and said, ‘Come down!’ So I took my surfboard and we chatted. He reminded me of why I wanted to be an actor and I had days where I could see the magic.

“I think it will be a long time now before I could go back into that hole.”
