Tobey Maguire Denies "The Hobbit" Rumor

Posted: December 16th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Tobey Maguire Denies The Hobbit RumorSubmit Comment
A few days ago, Tobey Maguire was overheard saying that he is planning something with director Guillermo Del Toro, immediately sparking rumors that he may be in-talks for the Bilbo Baggins role in "The Hobbit." LatinoReview then announced that its sources have confirmed this to be true.

To find out if he has actually auditioned for the prequel, THR has reached out to Maguire, who said: "I have not met with del Toro. We don't have any near future plan. I don't know if something got misconstrued or miscommunicated but the source was not accurate at all."

He added: "I love Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson, and I certainly wouldn't take myself out of the conversation ... if I was part of it. But I haven't read a script or talked to anybody about it."

Del Toro has already started the casting process, so if Maguire has still to hear anything about the project, probably means that he won't be in it. Plus, "The Hobbit" is set to begin filming in May, while "Spider-Man 4" will go in front of the cameras in March.

Tobey also added that one day, he too wants to retire from acting.

Someday.

Eventually.

Maybe after some more movies.

Or if/when he dies...

Everybody's retiring anyway, Ranger. But those "two more years" never expire.

I don't really give a rats ass either way. I am not a huge LOTR or Hobbit fan anyway.

I thought he was the main character in the Lord of the rings movies already. How is this news? What about Seabiscuit 2?

Obviously fake. The news source was Latino Review. They make up half of what they report.

I either way I can't picture this guy as Bilbo.
But, then again he could be lying.

But then agains it's the LatinoReview.
