Summary

Did you know that the first Lord of the Rings movie came out three weeks after Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone? In this episode we’re talking to the brilliant Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan - the actors who played Pippin and Merry in the films. We find out what the mischievous Merry and Pippin have in common with Fred and George Weasley, what pranks Dom pulled on set and why people are still mixing Billy and Dom up. We highly recommend that you check out Billy and Dominic’s podcast The Friendship Onion on Youtube, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. They talk about what happened behind the scenes on Lord of the Rings, get their co-stars Elijah Wood and Sean Astin involved and generally just have loads of hilarious fun.
