Maguire's physique: from muscle man to slob to stick insect

Di, 10.12.2002, Sabine Mohler

Tobey Maguire is apparently able to transform his body any which way he chooses. After intensive body building in preparation for the making of «Spider-Man», Maguire subsequently piled on the pounds. He now appears to have gone the other way and is as thin as a pencil!

27-year Hollywood-star Tobey Maguire sported an Adonis-like figure in Spiderman: not an ounce of fat and perfectly lithe. The subsequent success of the film, an endless stream of parties and Leonardo DiCaprio as coach meant that Maguire was soon piling the weight back on. The Hollywood actor is now apparently as thin as a pencil again. Maguire was recently seen on a shopping tour in Beverly Hills and was barely recognisable to his innumerable fans: dressed in T-shirt and jeans, the 27-year old looked like a fresh faced youngster. An eye witness reported traumatised that Maguire was a mere shadow of his former self and was painfully thin. Maguire had also dyed his hair red.
