Wonder Why Tobey Maguire Disappeared From Hollywood? Here's Why

Though the first years of the new millennium suggested no end to Tobey Maguire's burgeoning fame, it wasn't long after the cooler reception to Spider-Man 3 that his presence in front of the camera began to become a rarity. Here's why Tobey Maguire disappeared from Hollywood.

It turns out that, despite his affable appearance, Tobey Maguire may not be the easiest actor to work with. When it came to his earlier career, he reportedly had multiple issues with co-stars on various movie sets. James Franco, for example, seems to have held a bit of resentment while working alongside his Spider-Man co-star. Franco himself also interviewed actress Charlize Theron who recalled that, when filming Cider House Rules,

"Tobey and I had a bit of a rough time, yeah. I mean, we're good now. It was a difficult movie."

And the drama goes beyond acting circles as well. After the success of the first Spider-Man movie, Maguire tried to get Columbia Pictures to adjust the filming schedule of the second film, allegedly to accommodate his bad back. He even got executives to meet with his neurosurgeon to discuss his workload, only to be dropped from the project a few days later. He was quickly reinstated, partly due to a helping hand from his then-girlfriend's father, a leading exec at rival studio Universal. But it's interesting to note that he ended up apologizing for the whole debacle, referring to his own attitude as, quote, "inappropriate."
