Tobey Maguire, 33, scores one for all the working daddies out there in Hollywood.
He has negotiated his deal to star in Spiderman 4 & 5, scoring family time with his young daughter as part of his contract.
He will be shooting the two movies back to back next year over a period of six months but insisted he should take early mornings and evenings off so he could play with his “favorite blonde”, Ruby Sweetheart, who is 22 months old. A friend of Tobey’s said last week:
“Tobey admits he is obsessive-compulsive about everything he does, and raising Ruby is no different. There’s no way Tobey would allow work, no matter how well paid, to get between him and Ruby, and Sony realized that.”
Sony, which declined to comment, is thought to have been wary of allowing ‘family time’ because it could set a precedent. Finally its chairman, Amy Pascal, herself a mother, stepped in, saying six months without family time would not be fair on any parent.
The pay package is estimated to be $50 million for both films.
In other Spiderman news, within the next few days Sony is expected to reveal whether Kirsten Dunst, 26, will be returning as Maguire’s on-screen love interest, Mary Jane Watson.
