Maguire didn't finish high school because he wanted to be an actor.[1] He got help from Alcoholics Anonymous for an underaged drinking problem. He has been sober ever since.[2] Maguire has been a vegetarian since 1992. In 2009, he became a vegan.[3]

PETA called him the World's Sexiest Vegetarian in 2002.[4] He often makes changes in his diet to either gain or lose weight. For example, he dramatically decreased his calorie intake for Seabiscuit. Then he quickly gained weight for Spider-Man 2.
