Maguire seen taking public transportation

HOLLYWOOD, CA — A new California law that results in stricter penalties for those caught driving with no license or a suspended license is sending shockwaves through Hollywood. And not just for Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears.

Carl’s Jr. assistant manager Wendy Hardee was taking the bus home from a long day of work and was surprised to see actor Tobey Maguire seated next to her.

“I look to my left, and I swear to god Spiderman was sitting next to me doing a crossword puzzle,” Hardee said. “I said to him, ‘Spidey, I loved your first two movies, but the third one sucked.’”

In an exclusive interview with SCNN, Maguire explained he has been having a tough time getting his driver’s license. The actor said he has never been able to exhibit the kind of skill behind the wheel that he does in front of a camera.

“It’s weird, I always ace the written exam,” Maguire said. “But when I have to do the driving part, I lock up. I know about keeping my hands at 10 and 2, I know what pedals do what, but when I put it all together something goes wrong.”

In the past, Maguire had been seen riding around town on a horse, something he picked up during the filming of Seabiscuit. Unfortunately for Maguire, his horse recently passed away and he was unable to get another because of the writers strike.

Maguire said his next driving test is in March and that he is already getting prepared.

“I’ve got to be a man about this, it’s just like Uncle Ben always told me,” he said. “With great power comes great responsibility. That has to apply to driving a car, right?”
