Tobey Maguire As Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit Rumors Persist

Despite being shot down by the actor himself, various sources are keeping the rumor going, and even claiming they have confirmation that the EX Spider-Man star will be slipping into the hairy feet for Guillermo Del Toro's adap of The Hobbit...

When the rumor first hit, it was almost immediately debunked by Maguire himself. But with his departure from Spider-Man 4, the rumors are back, with several sources claiming that he will indeed be shrinking down as Bilbo Baggins.



The main source is the British rag The Sun(I know, I know..)According to them, a source told them the following..

"Everyone is over the moon. Tobey is not only one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, he is also one of the best actors."

Supporting that, is AMC Entertainment blogger John Campea, who recently tweeted that someone close to production has leaked the same news to him. He said..

"I have been personally told by a source very close to Guillermo del Toro that it's true... Tobey Maguire IS The Hobbit."

So you see, it has to be true!! But seriously, it might just be worth keeping an eye on. If it is true, expect an official announcement pretty quickly, if not(most likley) expect more debunking. Further developments as we get em.
