Faith Hill Says Filming Sexy ‘1883’ Bathtub Scene With Tim McGraw ‘Was Tough’

Faith Hill will never forget one of her earliest auditions.
She read for director Anthony Minghella for 2003’s “Cold Mountain” for the role that went to Natalie Portman. “I read, I believe, the rape scene and another one. It was intense,” Hill tells me on the new episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast. “I had been on a few readings, but nothing like that.”
Not that she didn’t do her homework beforehand.
“I worked my tail off to be prepared for that,” Hill said. “Because for me, personally, I thought I have got to prove myself… This is serious work.
