'Country Strong' Unscripted

'Country Strong' co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw sat down at Moviefone to give us a unique look at two entertainers who have branched out in their careers. She's an actress playing a country music super star; he's a true country music legend who's taken to acting.
Paltrow had to learn to play guitar and sing for the film. When asked about the types of roles she looks for, she responded: "What doing 'Country Strong' taught me, is that the more I can challenge myself, the more fun I will have." She also learned a thing or two about country music: "I think what it takes to be a country super star is real soul and authenticity. (Like) I think in country more than any other genre, there can't be anything phony. It's all about revealing everything and not relying on tricks or kitchiness."
McGraw, who now has hits in the music and film worlds ('The Blind Side'), was asked which gave him more satisfaction, and responded by saying that he wanted everything to be a hit and, he wanted it all to be good. And when asked what he was bad at, he revealed that he's not a good listener. "But worse than that, I have no patience. But I'm learning."
McGraw took a break from sincerity and asked the question on everybody's mind: "What's it like sleeping with a rock star?" (Paltrow is married to Coldplay's Chris Martin). But Paltrow turned the tables on him (McGraw is married to Faith Hill).
When asked what he sings in the shower, he responded comically, 'Don't Cry Out Loud.' That's a mental image we won't be able to get out of our heads for a while!

I wish Leighton Meester and Garrett Hedlund did this :(

[MORGANwoohoo]

@neilkulp

don't hate on country music. reading you're stupid and ignorant words, you probably just listen to songs about doing drugs, banging girls and that us the words like "nigga" and "yo." country music is the mosy popular genre of music in the united states. they use real words with real meanings and ACTUAL songs. they take more skill then just scrreaming or talking. country music is real and when you are famous, rich and successful as tim mcgraw, then you can talk.

@SillyGoose654321 haha yeah same here

[neilkulp]

we get it tim - you sing country. stop. its the least talented genre of music. lyrics are boring and predictable and there is little to no vocal skills required.

[Sunnydys]
