Tobey Maguire Wanted To Be Chef

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 12th, 2010 in Actors, Food & Drink.

The Greatest Los Angeles Premiere

Spiderman could have taught you to make szechuan tofu.

Actor Tobey Maguire originally wanted to be a chef, according to his IMDB profile trivia.

His mom gave him $100 to take an acting class instead of home economics in high school and the rest is history.

Tobey might have been aspiring to walk in his father’s footsteps, as Vincent Maguire worked as a cook when he wasn’t busy with construction.

The world may not have lost a great chef after all, as one only has to look at another vegetarian thesbian, Alicia Silverstone, to see that actors and actresses can play many roles well, including the one of cookbook author.

The cooking community is ready for another vegetarian male chef to accompany Bryant Terry and Tal Ronnen, and “Spiderman Does Soba,” would sure make a hit with vegetarians and those who are health conscious.

The almost vegan Tobey once said, “It’s never really been that hard for me. I’ve never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. It had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that.”

“Brothers” Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire Shared Vegan Chef

Natalie Portman arrives for the 2009 Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York

When it comes to the catering, the more vegetarians the better to make it easier on everyone who chooses cauliflower over chicken.

Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman star in Brothers, and the two not only got along well on screen, but during snack time as well.

When Natalie found out Tobey brought his own vegan chef to the set, she demanded that he share.

Natalie told marieclaire.com:

“Tobey Maguire brought his own vegan chef to the set. “I was like, ‘Um, could you make two of those?'”  “And I’d make a cute face, and they’d roll their eyes and give me another falafel.”

Although they say the camera adds 10 pounds, Natalie and Tobey probably never had to worry about finding bigger set clothes, since the vegan chef only served up the healthy stuff.

Wonder if Tobey convinced any other cast members to try a falafel from time to time?

Tobey Maguire Had A Quickie In Seattle During “The Details”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 24th, 2009 in Actors, Business, Food & Drink, Restaurants.

AFI Life Achievement Awards honoring Michael Douglas

Once upon a time, a hookup took place in the back of a minivan and Hillside Quickie Inc., a vegetarian institute, was the love child of the creation.

After successfully running a food shop from the minivan, many other Hillsides were spawned, including Hillside Quickie’s Vegan Sandwich Shop, Hillside Quickie’s Cafe, and Quickie Too.

Years later, Hillside is still gettin’ it on and welcomes the birth of Plum: Hillside Quickie’s New American Bistro.

Plum offers delicious vegan dishes such as Northwest portobello and tempeh crepes, apple-pecan salad, vegan sliders, and the pizza of the day complete with vegan cheese.

It’s rumored that actor Tobey Maguire was a regular at Plum during the filming of his latest movie The Details.

For more information on what kind of delicious vegan hookup you can get, visit Hillsidequickie.com.

Tobey Maguire Suggests Vegetarian Changes To Child Nutrition Act

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, July 24th, 2009 in Actors, Children, Food & Drink.

37th AFI Life Achievement Award - Show

Tobey Maguire is getting into the game of improving school lunches, much like Wyntergrace Williams and Twitter co-founder Biz Stone.

The vegetarian actor recently wrote a letter to U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and U.S. Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), urging lawmakers to reexamine the standards set by the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The legislation — initially passed in 1966 – is up for Congressional re-authorization this fall, giving lawmakers a wonderful opportunity to make changes.

Changes such as making schools stop serving beef nachos everyday and put veggie burgers on the menu.

Tobey cited a recent article by the Chicago Tribune, which revealed that Chicago public schools serve beef nachos everyday because the federal government’s commodity foods program “dumps surplus beef on schools across the country.”

“School is tough enough already — students shouldn’t have to put up with lunches swimming in fat and cholesterol,” Tobey wrote.

Tobey suggests that vegetarian meals may even costs schools less while getting children in shape.

“Being overweight can be a miserable experience for children. It affects their grades and sets them up to be unhealthy adults.”

“Higher rates of obesity, heart disease and diabetes mean greater healthcare costs for everyone. Healthy foods can help prevent those problems, so federal dollars spent on better school meals are a smart investment.”

If you’re interested in taking Tobey’s lead, contact your legislators and write to them.

Elijah Wood Stealing Vegetarian Compliments From Tobey Maguire

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 in Actors.

The Cinema Society & Vanity Fair Host A Screening Of Appaloosa

Elijah Wood is such a meat eating fraud.

The actor was printing photos at Cosco when a fan approached him and complimented him on sticking to his vegetarian diet for so long.

Elijah isn’t a vegetarian, and later he realized the fan had mistaken him for Tobey Maguire.

Elijah went along with it anyway.

Boo, boo, and triple boo!

Elijah is no Tobey Maguire. He is not an obsessive Real Food Daily patron. He does not hang at Prop 2 parties with his fellow veggie and animal rights peeps.

If Elijah wants his vegetarian compliments, he should earn it like every other meatless celeb does: Go veg!

**EXCLISUVE** Tobey Maguire spends some quality time with daughter Ruby Sweetheart and a friend in LA

If you crawl up buildings like Spiderman to stalk Tobey Maguire, then you should be crawling along Real Food Daily often, as this man never seems to get enough of it.

The actor who’s expecting another baby with his wife Jennifer Meyer this spring was spotted with his daughter, Ruby, and a friend picking up some food from the vegan restaurant.

Looks like Ruby had a ton of fun!

So awesome that little Ruby is getting to experience healthy eating with dad at such a young age. In a world where kids think a Happy Meal is one of the basic food groups, good to know Ruby’s growing up with the good stuff.
