The hardest job Tim McGraws ever had — and how you can watch him do it

SHARE NOW

If you enjoyed seeing Tim McGraw and wife Faith Hill in 1883, there’s good news.

Tim would love to do another Western — he’s just not sure he wants to work as hard as he did on the Taylor Sheridan Yellowstone prequel. 

“1883 was the first TV series that I had done or Faith had done,” he explains. “Movies are a little quicker for sure, but 1883, Faith and I both joke that it was the hardest job we’ve ever had, period, in our lives.”

“And I grew up in a farm town workin’ on farms and drivin’ tractors and pullin’ coffee weeds out of rice fields,” he adds. “So I did some hard labor growin’ up.”

So how hard did Tim and Faith work on the 2021 show?

“We were shootin’ 1883 for six months, sometimes six days a week, 14 hours a day on horseback and terrible weather conditions, either burning hot or freezing cold,” he recalls. “It was a lot of hard work and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

“But we had such a great time and it was a great experience for Faith and I together, and I would love to do another Western somewhere down the road,” he says. 

If you haven’t seen 1883, you can check it out now on Paramount+.
