Today I saw this ‘5 Friends’ public service announcement created by Leonardo DiCaprio, will.i.am, Tobey Maguire, and Forest Whitaker, to encourage the American youth to register to vote.

According to the YouTube description the non-partisan ‘5 Friends’ public service announcements, produced by DiCaprio’s Appian Way, were created to engage young people, inspire them to register and vote, and participate in the upcoming election. The video encourages the viewer to pass on the viral to 5 friends, who will in theory then pass the video to 5 friends also, and so on.

The ‘5 Friends’ public service announcement drives viewers to www.maps.google.com/vote, where users can type in their address to find out further information about registering to vote.

The list of celebrities appearing in the ‘5 Friends’ public service announcements is massive, with names such as: Amy Adams, will.i.am, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon, Halle Berry, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Connolly, Courteney Cox, Ellen DeGeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Jonah Hill, Dustin Hoffman, Anthony Kiedis, Ashton Kutcher, Adam Levine, Laura Linney, Eva Longoria, Tobey Maguire, Demi Moore, Natalie Portman, Giovanni Ribisi, Ethan Suplee, Kyra Sedgwick, Michelle Trachtenberg, Usher, and Forest Whitaker.

Tobey Maguire Keeps His Priorities Straight

The Spiderman franchise has been lucrative for actor Tobey Maguire, but he almost gave it up over a single contractual disagreement - over daughter Ruby Sweetheart, 22 months. The Times Online reports that Maguire was willing film Spiderman 4 and 5 back-to-back over a 6-month period next year - but only if Sony accepted a few demands first. Chief among them: early mornings and evenings off so he could play with his “favourite blonde”.

However, Sony, who owns the rights to the Spiderman franchise, is supposedly wary of allowing “family time” for fear it would set a precedent, and Maguire was almost replaced. Finally, the company chairman, a mommy herself, Amy Pascal, stepped in saying that “six months without family time would not be fair on any parent.”

“Tobey admits he is obsessive-compulsive about everything he does, and raising Ruby is no different,” a friend said last week. “There’s no way Tobey would allow work, no matter how well paid, to get between him and Ruby, and Sony realised that.”
