Tobey Maguire has revealed he bagged the role of Spider-Man by getting his kit off. The actor auditioned for the role of Peter Parker with director Sam Raimi by showing off his bod in a Blue unitard. When producers were still not convinced, the saucepot then unzipped the top and did a fight scene topless to convince producres he had the necessary qualities to play the superhero. Despite using his physical attributes to his advantage, Maguire says that Hollywood's emphasis on perfection frustrates him. He says when he started out in the business he always wanted to appear as himself, spots and all, but he's had to comply with standards. He even had to lose weight for Spider-Man. Spider-Man 3 opened last weekend in North America, earning earned $148 million over the weekend, overtaking the previous record of $135.6 million set by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. |
