Faith Hill by Freya Byles

While Gwyneth Paltrow was in Nashville shooting scenes for the new film, ‘Country Strong,’ she really leaned on co-star Tim McGraw’s wife, Faith Hill, for advice about Country Music and her role as a performer and so over the course of the making of the film, the two lovely ladies became fast friends.

In researching for the role, Gwyneth said that she watched all of Faith’s DVDs and videos and her performances, and “I felt that if I did sort of a mixture of Faith and Courtney Love, that’s kind of like who I am in this movie.”

Gwyneth talked about how supportive Faith was during that time and how she was always there to answer the many questions she had about the business, “Faith was like an encyclopedia for me”

Gwyneth adds, “To me, my character could’ve been Faith, but took a turn in the wrong direction.”

‘Country Strong’ will be opening in theaters in Nashville and Los Angeles on December 22nd, and nationwide on January 7th.
