Tobey Maguire, whose full name is Tobias Vincent Maguire, was born in 1975. The audience is familiar with the most popular Spider-Man, but few people would expect there to be some secrets about this actor.

Childhood was deprived, both materially and mentally

At the time of the actor’s birth, his parents were quite young. When Wendy Brown was 18 years old, his mother was working in advertising and trying to become an actress, while his father was 20 years old, Vincent Maguire, whose job was as a chef and construction worker. However, they divorced when the actor was 2 years old.

His parents’ divorce when he was too young was also an impact that made his life more difficult. Tobey recalls: “In my head, I always wished I would have a decent place to live, but in reality I had to sleep on a relative’s sofa, and there were nights when we had to wander outside to find a place to sleep. Gia My family had nothing but food stamps and health insurance from the government. I wanted to get out of this situation, and my biggest ambition at that time was to make a lot of money.”

After that, Tobey thought that following his father to become a chef was the fastest way to make money. However, his mother was the one who convinced him to take acting classes, and she gave him $100 to do this.

Started a business at 12 years old

At age 12, Tobey began appearing in commercials and television series. For him, success is not about waiting for doors to open. The actor shared, “This is not only about the opportunities available outside but also about attitude. It’s about the possibilities you can imagine.”Imagine a different future for yourself.”

Since then, the actor’s career has been built more and more firmly when he participated in films such as This Boy’s Life in 1993 with the appearance of Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio. In 1997, the actor participated in The Ice Storm.

In 2000, he starred in Wonder Boys, also starring Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Douglas. But the biggest turning point in his acting career was in 2002 when he played Peter Packer – Spider-Man, the movie brought him 4 million USD. In 2003, he recorded for Seabiscuit and received $12 million.

“When I first became successful, I always had to be careful with the amount of money I made; this definitely stems from my past experience. Do you know people who win the lottery with a large amount of money, and spend it? “It’s over right away, but it will never happen to me. I don’t want to be in a position where my expenses are so high that I have to make money from one movie to another,” Tobey said.

Tobey became the highest paid actor for playing the web-slinging superhero with an amount of $17 million plus 5% of Spider-Man 2 box office revenue. And $15 million plus 7.5% box office receipts for Spider-Man part 3.

36-year friendship with Leonardo Dicaprio

Having known each other since they were 12 years old, up to now, the friendship between the Titanic actor and the Spider-Man actor has entered the 36th year. The glory and ups and downs of their careers cannot make the two’s feelings disappear. Teenagers change.
