The 34-year-old actor himself shut down the rumor suggesting he will play in 'The Hobbit', saying that he's never been approached by the producers about the film.
Tobey Maguire addressed a rumor suggesting he is in talks for the role of Bilbo Baggins in upcoming movie "The Hobbit". In a recent interview, the Peter Parker of "
Spider-Man 4" told Access Hollywood, "I have not met or spoken to Guillermo del Toro or Peter Jackson or anybody."
"Nobody has given me a script or approached me about it," Tobey moreover claimed. He further blasted the report, saying "Somebody actually sent me that link that said that I had a conversation with the director and it was just not true." He added, "I was wondering if maybe there was a miscommunication, I was talking about another director or something."
Tobey was first linked to the role after Latino Review (LR) came up with the news. On December 14, the site claimed that the actor is "in the early stages of talks between CAA and the producers of The Hobbit." But, his representative was quick to deny, insisting "This is false!"
