04/30/2007 - Tobey Maguire - Spider-Man 3 Movie Premiere - New York City - Arrivals - United Artists Kaufman Astoria Cinema 14 - New York City, NY © Janet Mayer / PhotorazziThe 'Spider-Man 3' believes actors should avoid discussing their political beliefs and insists he has no plans to follow close friend Leonardo DiCaprio and publicly give his support to arguments.Tobey said: "It can look a little silly for actors to talk politics. I don't mind if it comes off the right way, but look at Michael Moore, the way he twisted up those public figures. They're not thinking, it's just off the cuff, and he makes them look an ass."The 31-year-old star doesn't think it is his job to educate people or make them aware of political issues just because he is in the public eye.He explained: "I would love to have a positive effect on people, but it's not my place. There are more educated people, with better facts, figures and arguments at their disposal."(C) BANG Media International
