    Tim McGraw

    Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and actor Tim McGraw sits down for an emotional conversation about his childhood, the family secret that would change his life forever, his marriage to Faith Hill and what he's learned from fatherhood. Tim holds the record for the highest-grossing tour in country music history and has had 16 albums reach number one on the Billboard charts. Married to superstar Faith Hill for more than 20 years, the couple is considered country music royalty. Although Tim has performed in giant stadiums in front of thousands of fans, he says that deep down he is an innately shy person. As a young artist, he began using alcohol as "liquid courage" to get onstage, a habit that turned into an addiction. Tim explains how he finally came to realize that enough was enough.

Singer Tim McGraw was an athlete in high school and takes us back to his highlights in basketball, football, and baseball. Matt asks about Tim's musical influences and what drove him to get his first guitar.  As an LSU fan, Tim gives his thoughts on the current state of the football program. Onto Tim's acting career, what was the moment he was motivated to get in shape?  Wrapping up, Matt talks about some of his roughest moments on the field and one of the best pranks from one of his teammates.
