Q: Congratulations on getting the role of Merry. I can’t even imagine when you got the first script how overwhelming this must have all been for you. Not only are you making one film but also you are committed to making three! So take me back.

A: It just all started by a call from my agent, as most jobs do. I got a call from my agent saying there is a meeting in London for The Lord of The Rings that is being made by Peter Jackson. So I just kind have said OK, cool, whatever. I went down and met them, and then I was doing a job in France. So I rang my agent and asked him how he thought my audition went and he thought it went well and I just try to forget things. I go into a meeting, try as hard as I can, and then when I leave you just have to forget things. Otherwise they torture you completely. So, I just forgot about it.

You’ve got a big female fan base. Are you still unattached? Dominic Monaghan: I am. I’m working so much. I still enjoy female company, but in terms of anything really serious, that’s not really where my head’s at.

Manchester’s Student Direct newspaper cops a rant from Dominic Monaghan who plays Merry in The Lord of the Rings, about the ending of The Return of the King having been changed to give his character less action. “It’s a shame – we were pretty cross about that,” he tells the paper.

“The ending shows that Merry and Pippin have changed quite a lot. I mean, they become warriors. Pippin is quite well versed on war, and Merry has actually been on the front line. I’m sure that there are cinematic reasons behind the change that make sense,” he sniffs.

Question: Being together day and night for the past few years, have you become close friends or do you actually hate each other ?

Boyd: It’s kind of both really.

Monaghan: We hate how much we like each other. We’re good friends you know. It’s not too difficult to be friends with someone when you’re having such a great time. There’s kind of an unspoken thing that goes on between us now. We know what we’ve all been through to get to this point. It’s an incredibly strong link.
