Faith Hill had to let go of some personal grooming habits to film ‘1883’: “It really grossed me out”

Turns out Tim McGraw wasn’t the only one who had to stop shaving for his role in 1883.

In a new conversation with actor Courteney Cox for Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series, Faith recounts the rigorous prep the actors had to embrace to get ready for their roles on the show.

There was a two-week “cowboy camp” where they learned about the pioneering lifestyle, but for Faith, the hardest part was a little bit more basic — she had to put down her razor.

“[Show creator] Taylor [Sheridan] actually called my husband. We were at a wedding, our nephew’s wedding, and he said, ‘Who’s gonna be the one to tell your wife she has to stop shaving under her arms?’” the singer remembers. “And I’m thinking, ‘Can this wait?’ He goes, ‘No, stop tonight.’”

And she did — but Faith admits she never really felt comfortable making that adjustment to her personal grooming habits.

“It really grossed me out, I have to say,” she continues. “All due respect to those who love that, and all that freedom, woo! But for me personally …”

1883, the prequel to the hit TV show Yellowstone, streams on Paramount+.
