Actor Tobey Maguire was relieved the birth of his daughter forced him to take a break from the big screen - because he finds the duties of being a father so much more rewarding.

The Spider-man star welcomed his daughter Ruby Sweetheart Maguire into the world on 10 November 2006 before marrying long-term partner, jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer last year. And he insists his demanding role as a dad far outweighs those of his most challenging acting feats.

He says, "Being a dad is great. When Ruby smiles, it's the most fantastic thing ever. I don't have as much time to do things as I used to, which is okay because I get to spend time with my baby."
