The 2002 "Spider-Man" movie swept the world that year, and the audience recognized Toby Maguire's role as Peter Parker in it.
Compared with the original comic book, this film has changed, such as the tragic hero is more intense, Peter Parker has become more bitter and vengeful, but still resists the pressure and temptation, and adheres to the belief that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility".
Specific to the actor Toby Maguire, his acting career in reality, like Spider-Man in the movie, has not been easy along the way.
Toby was born in 1975 to a poor family in California.
His parents were separated when he was only 2 years old and his childhood didn't have much joy to speak of, as he always lived with different family members.
As a child, Toby's dream was not to be an actor, but to be a chef, but when he was in the 6th grade, his mother gave him $100, hoping that he could go to an acting class.
Due to his poor family's financial situation, $100 at that time was a "huge amount" for Little Toby, and he finally went to a drama class for his mother.
Toby's path as an actor also began.
Before starring in Spider-Man, Toby's career can only be described in one word.
miserable.
His family is not an acting family, and he does not have any connections in the show business circle.
In addition, it is not a rich person, and it is impossible to talk about what kind of relationships are open.
Since the late 1980s, he has been interviewing for mirrors in various films and televisions, and many times he has been directly PASSed.
In order to survive, he also went to shoot some advertising shorts.
Even the jokes Toby received were often asked to play children younger than himself, almost belonging to the dragon set in the dragon suit.
Even, he was unlucky enough to have the opportunity to play the male lead in a drama, and then after acting for more than a month, the drama disappeared.
However, during this time, Toby met the noble man of his life and his best friend in life.
His hardcore brother is Little Plum Leonardo.
It is also interesting to say that the acquaintance of the two came from an audition.
At that time, Toby and Little Plum went to audition for a TV series, there were many competitors, and Toby looked at his opponent with a serious look.
However, at that time, Xiao Lizi was playing karate with a look of indifference.
Toby looked at it and felt that there was something wrong with this boy, why was he playing kung fu here? Is it an attempt to disturb others?
Little Plum also noticed that Toby had been looking at him, and at that time he felt that this person was a little interesting and had been staring at me, a little bit wanting to play with him.
In this way, the road of friendship between Toby and Little Plum began.
Due to similar ages and even some similarities in their upbringing, the two boys quickly became hardcore friends.
After all, there were no smart phones in the last century, video communication, if you want to play, you still have to hold hands with two people.
At that time, Toby also made a vow with Little Plum to belong to the two of them for a lifetime.
No matter who gets mixed up in the future, they must never forget each other.
But in fact, the path of little plum actor is much smoother than Thatby's.
In the TV series that the two auditioned together, the director also chose Xiao Lizi in the end, but under the strong recommendation of Xiao Lizi, Toby also mixed up a cameo role.
By the 1990s, Little Plum had gradually accumulated fame, but Toby was still just an 18-line actor.
Not to mention, later, with "Titanic", Little Plum became the world's top Hollywood superstar.
Toby at the time? He is still struggling for various dragon suit characters.
Due to the long-term career failure, coupled with Toby's seeing that his good buddies are mixed as much as possible, it also makes his mentality change.
However, this change is not jealousy, but the feeling that they are useless and cannot keep up with the pace of Little Plum.
Therefore, he always used alcohol to dispel his sorrows, and soon after he developed a very serious alcoholism, and even once carried out compulsory abstinence from alcohol.
At that time, Xiao Lizi was busy at work and did not notice this matter.
But this may still be a good thing for Toby, after all, you can not let the buddies see their decadent look.
The time soon came to the end of the century, and at this time, Toby's opportunity finally came.
Of course, this opportunity is also because of the little plum.
At that time, Sony Pictures, intending to shoot the "Spider-Man" movie, issued an invitation to Little Plum.
But Little Plum refused and recommended Toby over.
He hadn't forgotten his promise to Toby.
In fact, if it were not for the pulling relationship of This level of Little Plum, the weight of Spider-Man's role would have a very low chance of falling into Toby's hands.
Of course, Toby did not live up to Little Plum, he played spider-man is very classic, this movie series is also the head of Sony Pictures in the new century.
Even if it is now said who is the most classic Spider-Man, most viewers will recognize it as Toby's version.
When he played Spider-Man, it was the peak of Toby Maguire's career, but it didn't last long.
After "Spider-Man 3", Sony Pictures originally planned to continue to shoot "Spider-Man 4".
However, since Toby signed a trilogy, he had to renew his contract to continue shooting.
At that time, the value was different from the previous unpopular little coffee, and Toby of course asked for a salary increase, but this made Sony Pictures hesitate.
Because the North American box office of "Spider-Man 3" has gone back too much compared to the first two films, although the global box office is the highest of the three films, but if you count the share, the profit is not as good.
Of course, Toby himself has problems.
Perhaps because his previous career was too unsmooth, after becoming famous, Toby also played a big card on the way to shoot "Spider-Man 2", such as being late and asking the entire crew to wait for him for a day.
After all, human nature is like this, suppressed for too long, often need to be released, although the way may not be good.
In the end, due to Sony's excessive intervention in "Spider-Man 4", the director quit the project, and then Toby also left the crew, and the "Spider-Man" series finally ended.
After leaving the "Spider-Man" series, Toby's life has fallen together.
What ended up was that his career had become as good as before, although there were reasons why he himself began to focus on his life rather than his career.
But he was visible to the naked eye and quickly disappeared from the circle, and he began to focus on the background, such as being a producer, investing and so on.
As a result, his friendship with Little Plum is becoming more and more consolidated.
How good is their relationship?
Everyday life, all kinds of going surfing together, watching ball games, going everywhere hi all take two people.
For a while Little Plum bought a house near Toby and became a neighbor with him.
Toby's daughter is going to participate in a stage performance at school, and Little Plum pushes off some activities to celebrate.
When taking the child out of the street, Xiao Lizi often plays the role of "mother" and holds the child tightly.
They also performed on the same stage in "The Great Gatsby", and the good buddies of the past can finally act in a movie together.
When Plum's "The Revenant Hunter" won the Golden Globes, Toby was the host, frantically praising How good Little Plum and his character were.
The kind of "You see, my buddy is not very good?" The tone of the voice made the little plums in the audience can't help but give a flying kiss.
Although the later Toby has gradually disappeared, but now the Marvel Universe's "Spider-Man 3: Homeless Heroes" has a lot of information to say that this is most likely a movie performed by three generations of Spider-Man.
If that's the case, Toby can wear that suit again, and fans can see the once classic Spider-Man on the screen again.
As for whether Toby will return to show business after this movie, or continue to return to the background, it depends on the follow-up.
But no matter what, no matter what changes in Toby's career, one thing remains the same.
It was his friendship with Little Plum.
