Tim McGraw and Faith Hill got the chance to act together when they played James and Margaret Dutton in Taylor Sheridan’s 1883 TV series, the prequel spinoff of Yellowstone.

While some of the scenes and the filming schedule were physically demanding, Tim says working with Faith was a fantastic experience.

He told us, "It was wonderful. I was always amazed every day doing scenes with her, how good she was. She really elevated my game and made me better because she was just so natural and so good. And to see her build her arc as Margaret and how powerful and strong Margaret’s character became, and watch her build that was just pretty phenomenal. You know, it was so cool to be able to do scenes with her and have a great day of shooting something really incredible, and going home and laying in bed and talking about it. That was something pretty special."

Tim added that he wanted to act again with Faith in the future, "We’d probably love to. But you know, it’s all based on material. If something comes along that’s fantastic and falls at a time that we could do it, I’m sure we’d love to do that. I mean, we’re not looking for something like that. But if something just drops out of thin air and it makes you go, ‘wow,’ then it’s gonna be something to think about for sure.”

McGraw’s three daughters are all grown and out of the house now, but when they were younger, Tim says they would all dress up and participate in Halloween festivities. And since he has spent some time in Hollywood, his costumes were sometimes really awesome, because he was able to call in a few favors from the costume departments that he worked with.

He recently told us, "We did a few things when the kids were growin’ up. I was Captain Jack [Sparrow, from Pirates of the Carribean] one year, and I had a friend of mine from L.A., who does costuming for movies, sent me a whole Captain Jack get up."

Big celebrities like him often talk about how exciting it is around Halloween because they get to go disguised, and no one recognizes them, so they can walk around freely, have fun with their kids trick-or-treating, and avoid autograph seekers to spend quality uninterrupted time with their family.
