Lost Star Fuels Baby Rumors  4/26/06

British actor Dominic Monaghan has fuelled speculation he hopes to become a father with Lost co-star Evangeline Lilly by confessing he's "broody".

Monaghan insists he loves babysitting and had no qualms acting as the minder of character Claire's new baby on the hit TV desert island show.

But the 29-year-old hopes his fictional storyline may soon be mirrored with a real life dependant.

He says, "I've been broody since I was like, 11! I love kids. I love being around animals or babies because it's a pure interaction there.

"They're all about the moment. So I love being around babies. It's fun."
