LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — Tobey Maguire, the 50-year-old actor famed for his role as Spider-Man, is the latest celebrity to find himself at the center of the “age-gap dating” discourse.

Maguire was recently seen “cosying up” to a 20-year-old model during a social outing, sparking a flurry of commentary on social media and entertainment news outlets.

Critics argue that the 30-year age difference reflects a problematic trend among Hollywood’s elite men, while defenders of the actor insist that two consenting adults should be free to date regardless of the age gap.

Maguire, who has largely kept his private life out of the tabloids in recent years, has not commented on the relationship. However, the sighting has reignited discussions about the power dynamics of fame and the evolving social standards of “appropriate” relationships in the post-MeTo era.
