Performed at the 43rd Annual CMA Award in Nashville on Wednesday sang Southern Voice, Tim McGraw, 42, was amazing as usual. Blessed with a pleasant voice and has won Grammys and Academy of Country Music Awards, but he still modest and saying, “It’s mine, and I gotta live with it,” says Louisiana-born Tim McGraw, I’m not a virtuoso. I just do it my way.”
Having a beautiful wife who is also a success country singer, Faith Hill, 42, and their three daughters, Gracie, 12, Maggie, 11, and Audrey, 7, and patience is the one he needs when living with women.
“I have a hard time waiting, which is horrible because I live with four women. I had to learn not to get dressed until they say they’re ready to walk out the door, because I’ll still have 30 minutes.”
And the best thing for being the only man in the house is, having his own chair but “somebody’s always in my chair.”
“It’s a double-wide recliner. It’s ugly brown leather—fake leather, probably. We’re building a new house, and Faith swears it’s not going to make the trip. She hates it. Until she sits in it. Then she loves it.”
Living with women make him learns the special need of women is to be listen.
“I learned it from my wife. You don’t have to give a solution. I’m bad about jumping in three words after she starts talking and trying to find a solution. It’s not the right thing to do.”
Family, Italian foods and exercise are the three things he can’t live without. A family man type who has another talent in cooking with specialty spaghetti and meatball which his mom used to cook. And get the balancing from his wife who is also fantastic in cooks for Thanksgiving, he says,
“Cooks a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner: turkey, cornbread dressing, butter beans, green beans, and mashed potatoes—the traditional Southern Thanksgiving meal.”
Just like any father who has the fear of his daughters on date, he said “My daughters will be ready to date when I’m dead.”
Kind a protective father, well at least he’s always be there for his children. It’s something he learnt from his father, the late baseball player Tug McGraw, who met him until he was 11.
“To be there. And I learned that because I got the opposite.”
As parent he is a firm father for those girls and “more the disciplinarian.”
“I do try to be tough, not mean, just firm. You have to be; it’s just scary with girls. There’s so much that could go wrong. But they’re really good kids.”
As for his beautiful wife, Faith, he likes his wife to wear “nothing”, and he explains what he meant, “No makeup, though nothing in general is great too. But Faith is great in jeans and a T-shirt. She’s great anyway, but when she’s dressed down, she’s the best.”
Celebrity with normal life, except for they work, McGraw feels he’s been blessing for having Faith as partner in life.
“Faith has kept me alive. She’s saved my life in a lot of different ways – from myself more than anything. She’s loved me through times when I didn’t love me.”
And if they hadn’t met, McGraw answered with the sweetest answer, it would like the end for McGraw, “I’d be dead. Oh yeah, I would have partied too hard. I might have caught myself somewhere along the way and put the brakes on. I don’t know if I would have gone [to rehab]; I don’t think I could have been talked into that during those times.”
Between his busy schedule for promoting his new album, Southern Voice
“I’m half Irish—I cry at commercials. I recently saw a movie called The Greatest. We watched it at 8 a.m., and I was ruined for the rest of the day. I had a headache from crying.”
Talking about his latest ,movie, The Blind Side, he plays a father who adopts a kid from the ghetto who becomes a football star. The reason he took the role because “I’m a sports fanatic.”
“Also, though I wasn’t sure if I wanted to make another football movie after Friday Night Lights, the chance to be in a film about people doing great things for each other was hard to walk away from.”
Love him for sure, he’s great man, great singer and loving man.
