He Is Not Just A Pit Bull He Is My Son Shirt, hoodie
So now it was catch-up time with some familiar faces.
Among them was his next door neighbour’s son who, as a toddler, wo He Is Not Just A Pit Bull He Is My Son Shirt, hoodie uld be babysat by a teenage Dom. A big draw of the arrangement, Monaghan remembers: “They’d pay me in sweets. That’s how I liked to get paid at that point.
“And I remember coming back to Heaton Moor and he at this point was like, 15 or 16.
“We were just kicking the ball around in the avenue, me and him, and he stopped and said to me ‘Can I have your autograph?’
“I was like ‘oh, but we’re mates. You don’t need my autograph’. He just said ‘but I want it’, I was like ‘yeah, OK’.
“It’s a confusing thing to navigate.”

Monaghan had his first taste of the spotlight in Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, a wholesome BBC drama that ran from 1996 to 1998.
During his days at St Anne’s High School in Heaton Chapel he’d perform in plays such as Oliver and Scrooge, and was a member of the Manchester Youth Theatre and the Contact Theatre. Meanwhile his dad would slip him a VHS of Raging Bull and other classics as he built out his points of reference.
“I think I’ve probably come to terms with the fact that I can be quite obsessive about things,” he says.
“I can be purposefully overwhelmed with a certain subject matter and I felt that way about acting. So even though I was relatively diligent in other subjects I was a straight-A student in drama, I was constantly asking my drama teacher to put on more plays, give me more homework.
“I was doing plays on a Tuesday night, on the weekend and in my summer holidays. I would learn massive chunks of performances and just replicate them.”
One such performance was that of Henry Thomas in Steven Spielberg’s E.T.
“There’s a moment in the film that E.T has effectively died, obviously (spoiler alert) he comes back later, and the young boy Elliot goes over to the incubator when he thinks E.T is dead and he kind of apologises for what has happened to him, and the fact that he’ll remember him every day, that he’ll love him.
