Tobey Maguire is one actor who probably may not have done a lot of movies in recent years, but ask whoever you know, everyone loves him for his role as the first Spider-Man on the big screen. 

You could almost say that he was one of the founding members of the superhero movie universes that have become so popular right now.

Spoiler Alert! 

We Spider-Man fans were literally treated to the biggest cinematic spectacle which was Tom Holland's Spider-Man: No Way Home movie, where Tobey and Amazing Spider-Man Andrew Garfield made an insane comeback. 

Tobey's return had some amazing nostalgic trips for fans and we certainly remembered so many good things about the original Sam Raimi movies. 

Now, one such iconic scene from the first Spider-Man movie was the kissing scene between Tobey and Kirsten Dunst, who played the role of Mary Jane Watson in the movie. 

The scene involved an inverted Spider-Man hanging with his web and kissing Mary Jane.

The scene was really beautiful and looked absolutely awesome in the movies. However, the behind-the-scenes story is something very different. According to Tobey, who spoke about it in an old interview, the kiss was so difficult as he could not even breathe. 

If you can remember the scene, there was a lot of rain when Spider-Man and Mary Jane kiss. Now, with Tobey's Spider-Man upside down, the water just kept on blocking his nostrils in the scene. 

“When he was doing the scene, I remember the water was falling down into his upside-down nostrils, so he was kind of drowning. But it was a kissing scene. So, he had to pretend like it was a pleasant, sweet moment for him, when in fact, he was semi-drowning.” said Raimi. 

Tobey revealed how he felt for Kirsten during the scene. 

“There was rain pouring up or down my nose. I couldn’t breathe and I was gasping for breath out of the corner of Kirsten’s mouth. Poor girl. I was giving her mouth to mouth rather than kissing her.” 

Wow! That does sound very troublesome.
