The much-talked-about movie The Blind Side, in which Tim McGraw plays the husband of Sandra Bullock, finally hits theaters on Friday. Tim was at first reticent to get involved in a film that would have him play the father of a high school football player. That is, he reasoned, the same kind of role he had in the picture Friday Night Lights.
But when Tim read the script and realized how powerful the movie could become, he changed his mind. It certainly helped that he felt a kinship to his character, whose wife has the same kind of strength that Tim’s wife, Faith Hill, exerts in his real-life family.
“In our family, my wife Faith Hill is very much in control of our life,” he told Parade magazine. “She works out everybody’s schedule. I wouldn’t be able to function without her. So I can totally relate to a wife like that, and I feel that it is a blessing for me because I would be a mess without her giving me that kind of structure.”
Music remains Tim’s primary interest, though he’s taken on more acting jobs and has expressed a long-term interest in politics. Nonetheless, his biggest current career expansion is one that’s still firmly connected to his first vocation.
“My songwriting used to suck,” he conceded. “After 18 years that I’ve been touring and recording so many songs, I think I’ve gotten to a point in my life where I feel like I’ve garnered enough knowledge to sit down and write some music. I think that’s the next progression in my career, I’ve started writing more and recording more songs that I write.”
Tim kicks off the next segment of his Southern Voice Tour Feb. 11 in Omaha with Lady Antebellum and the Lost Trailers on the bill. Two months later, the Trailers’ slot in the lineup will be taken over by Love And Theft.

I like tim in his first movie, and have the dvd of it. And can't wait til this one comes out on one. And I love most all of his songs too.
And we think he has a great family life also.
yeaa right this movie is stupid!!!
chances by five for fighting
Do not brother playing top 50 sweeps or voting past couple days code words do not work on eather.
The movie was incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if it won Movie of the Year or whatever it would be called. Bullock should be up for an oscar.
I hann't seen the movie yet but'looking forward to seeing it
thank you
does anyone know the name of the song that is playing once the credits come on? Not the Tim Mcgraw one though
I want to know that song too.
Tim McGraw is hot in this movie!!!!!
Faith is even more powerful than I thought. Any woman that can coordinate both of your busy schedules and that of the girls, that is good stuff? You got a keeper there Tim. Both of you are very impressive, and you are lucky to have a woman standing by your side and kicking you in the tail when you need it brother. Good luck Tim and Faith, it is nice to see love, truth and honesty whenever you can. Have a great weekend. Be well.
I cant wait to see this movie, I have to wait till tomorrow evening. I am so looking forward to it! I love his new album Southern Voice, I think it is some of his best work. I love how Tim gives credit to Faith for keeping their family on track. It can't be easy with the busy lifestyles they have. Great couple. So excited that Tim is writing his own songs now, cant wait to hear them. Keep the music and the movies coming Tim.
I just saw- The Blind Side- Tim did such a awesome acting job!! One can see Tim is so comfortable in his acting roles. In parts the movie made me cry, but knew it would have a great ending. Love Sandra, Quinto and SJ- the little brother. Tim as a fan, you have made me PROUD!!
he is the best at what ever he does. Love his new album and cannot wait to see the movie.I love how he always give so much credit to Faith. Nice couple.
Love Tim's new album it is stellar from the first song to the last. Real music about life the good and bad. No matter if you like Tim or not you need to check out Love You Goodbye, You Had To Be There, Good Girls, I'm Only Jesus, I Didn't Know It At The Time and Ghost Town Train.
He is getting great reviews from his performance in the movie, guess that awesome ability that he has to pick great songs that fit him applies to films also.
just saw this wonderful film and was very proud of what Tim did. but didnt care to see him kissing sandra,but he was better in this movie than his other ones. this is his best film. it is a must see movie. she also did a wonderful job.sandra is great in it. after the credits were almost done rollling,they played his new song,southern voice,which was nice.
I agree with you there myrasue, TIm did play a GREAT role, better than I ever saw! This movie is a powerful one ! I enjoyed them playing his song at the end of the credits.
