Tobias Vincent "Tobey" Maguire (born June 27, 1975) is an American actor. He is best known for playing the role of Spider-Man in all three movies and including the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Early life

Maguire didn't finish high school because he wanted to be an actor.[1] He got help from Alcoholics Anonymous for an underaged drinking problem. He has been sober ever since.[2] Maguire has been a vegetarian since 1992. In 2009, he became a vegan.[3]

PETA called him the World's Sexiest Vegetarian in 2002.[4] He often makes changes in his diet to either gain or lose weight. For example, he dramatically decreased his calorie intake for Seabiscuit. Then he quickly gained weight for Spider-Man 2.

Personal life

Maguire met Jennifer Meyer in 2003 while he was shooting the movie Seabiscuit. They became engaged in April 2006. Their daughter Ruby Sweetheart Maguire was born on November 10, 2006.[5] The couple married on September 3, 2007, in Kona, Hawaii.[6] Their second child, a son, Otis Tobias Maguire was born on May 8, 2009.[7] The couple divorced in 2020.
