Tobey Maguire was 27 years old when he played Peter Parker, a high school student turned superhero, in Spider-Man. He was way older than his character, but Maguire performed in a way that conveyed the awkwardness, earnestness, and emotional depth of a teenager.

Relatability and charm are two qualities he brought to the role that made the movie a great success. Although his age became a matter of debate, it was his genuineness that won the hearts of viewers as he played both underdog Peter and heroic Spider-Man.
