If there’s one thing Tobey Maguire cherishes more than his Spider-Man PJs, it’s keeping his personal life far away from the tumult of the limelight.
The actor and film producer is an extremely confidential man and has never been thrilled about his romantic relationships turning into publicized fodder for the unyielding appetite of media outlets.
