“ I wanna fall in love again, have kids and be a great father

Kristen has the BRAVO scans
HERE

I translated the text for my beloved english speaking friends..


„Hi, my name is Dom, thats what all my friends call me”.
I have to look twice, as Dominic Monaghan welcomes me to the set of “lost” on the hawaiian island ‘oahu’!
He played the little hobbit Merry in Lotr and now is the wracked Charlie?
In front of me is a 1,70 m , really cool guy, with teared jeans, grubby shirt and uncombed hair.
Apart from that he has jug ears and lisps (?) – sweet.
The 28 year old has finished shooting for the day and takes me for a walk . “Here on set I’m the clown for everyone”
To provide food for his pets, the chamaleon “karma” and two egypt scorpions , he even crawls in the dirt to catch bugs.
That his colleagues find that weird,doesn’t bother him. “I’m cool with that ..After all I’m European!”
To be accurate Dom is from Germany: Born on the 8th December 1976 in posh Berlin neighbourhood Charlottenburg as a son to two Brits :” My mum and dad worked for the British forces, she as a nurse and he as a teacher. Later we also lived in Münster, Düsseldorf und Stuttgart, before moving to Manchester/England.”
With Germany Dom primarily associates memories of food : Sauerkraut, Currywurst and Maoam-sweets.
“My childhood was great” he contently recalls . Then he becomes thoughful: “Sadly I can’t say that for all of my life..”
Just after his success as Marry in the Lord of the Rings trilogy he fell into a crisis:” It was hell. I felt empty and didn’t know what to do with myself!” Looking for alternation he moved to Los Angeles - a big mistake: “ I didn’t have a car, no telephone and above all – no friends!”
Dom let himself go, began to drink and smoke weed , played on his playstation all day and slept until 4 in the afternoon.
The turning point came, when he was offered the role of Charlie on Lost. “The show saved me. I could no longer just hang around, I had to go to work everyday.
With some of his castmates he now shares a deep friendship-more than that : Rumours are, he’s having an affair with Evangeline Lilly (Kate), 25 .
But Dom just laughs about that :” People think that Evey and I are together because we went to the Golden Globes in january together, but though she's a nice girl, I am single.”
He’s still not totally satisfied with his life : When he’s alone he sometimes has the feeling that demons crawl into his head. Nearly desperately he says: “ I wanna fall in love again, have kids and be a great father - and I’m panicing I might die before I can experience that!”


aawwwwww

Awe Poor Dommie, I really do beleive he's bi-polar now. After talking to people on my list who have been diagnosed, he has those same symptoms, poor guy.
I hope he falls in love too. I just hope he doesn't just limit that to females, if he really is bisexual.
Thanks kiddo for the translation!!

[identity profile] crsty1961.livejournal.com 2005-04-21 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
I told people of your translation, hope you don't mind. ;)

[identity profile] songspinner9.livejournal.com 2005-04-27 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe they were, but unless you're a doctor, don't diagnose people you've not met and aren't qualified to diagnose. You can be creative and depressed and NOT bipolar, actually. Many of us have had both in our history. Not to snipe, just that I've spent a lot of time being a disability activist and have a tendency to correct folks when I hear assumptions based on misinformation. I hope I didn't offend anyone...

[identity profile] crsty1961.livejournal.com 2005-04-27 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not offended surprised a little, seeing as you have no idea who I am. I'm sincerely hoping he is well, and if not that he is being treated. This coming from someone who has had several family members who have been mentaly ill. Also a son who was born prematurely, and has been diagnosed with: ADHD, ASTHMA, A COGNATIVE READING DISABILITY, and IS DEVELOPMENTLY DELAYED.

Thanks a lot Nora!!! Maoam, yummy! :) Other than mandatory exaggeration, this interview rocks! And, I'm willing to help him. With the kids thing. :D

[identity profile] theshapeshifter.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Awww. Thanks for the translation! I'm amazed that I was actually mostly right in my own reading of it, given that I only took German for two years in high school, and that was twenty years ago! LOL.

He’s still not totally satisfied with his life : When he’s alone he sometimes has the feeling that demons crawl into his head. Nearly desperately he says: “ I wanna fall in love again, have kids and be a great father - and I’m panicing I might die before I can experience that!”

This is a teen magazine, right? If so, no wonder they make him sound so 'desperate'. I seem to remember teen mags always trying to portray famous guys as cuddly teddy-bears who want nothing more than to fall in love... catering to the romantic daydreams of their readers. (Not that I'm disbelieving that Dom would want those things... just that I have a hard time imagining him 'panicing' over it)

[identity profile] theshapeshifter.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Also, for us non-Europeans... what's Maoam? I'm assuming some kind of candy?

[identity profile] lilalo.livejournal.com 2005-04-21 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Gummy sweets that get stuck on and into your teeth forever! But they're great, yummy and gummy! Dommie. Heh.

yeah, you're right.. the panicing sounds like a good melo-dramatic ending :)

[identity profile] hoppipolla.livejournal.com 2005-04-21 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Aww Dommie!! Hopefully he will fall in love. I'd hate for him to be depressed. Thanks Nora for the translation

“ I wanna fall in love again..."

Um. Again. Huh.

Btw, I'm here via... I don't know where, but I just had to put in my two cents, lol.

[identity profile] rosamundeb.livejournal.com 2005-04-21 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Danke! I only got about 2/3 of that (been a long time since I took German - *G*). And now the fanfic I read that had Dom drinking, smoking weed and sleeping until 4 in the afternoon makes sense... *G*.

[identity profile] slashysunshine.livejournal.com 2005-04-21 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
AGH!
STILL HOPE FOR MY MONABOYD LOVIN'!
I will gladly have his babies! LOL!

Thank you so much for translating these.....although the article sounds almost exactly like a recent article in a US mag, I still squeed!
My fave quote: "After all, I am Eroupean!" *Dies so dead*

[identity profile] alexandriterain.livejournal.com 2005-04-21 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
...and the fan-girl "squee" lives on... (I thought it had died, gotten LOST (ha), or something)

Anyway, I found this post through [livejournal.com profile] acroamatica's post on the same article. Thank you so much for the translation!

Hallo - I did a translation too (all on my own, because I just HAD to know what it said!), checked mine against yours and credited you anywhere I posted. Thought you'd like to know. And thanks for doing this. I'm not quite as confident in my German as I might be. :D

[identity profile] nora1980.livejournal.com 2005-04-21 08:22 am (UTC)(link)

“I’m cool with that ..After all I’m European!”
hehehe I'm European too, sometimes we're a bunch of weirdos! lol

but am confused about the Evie thing because there's not only the Golden Globes as evidence... I read some stories from people who saw them *shrugs* whatever... it's just sad he's not happily in love then

[identity profile] surreality-fan.livejournal.com 2005-04-22 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
