Tim McGraw Cares What His Daughters Think
Tim McGraw doesn't want his daughters to be confused by the daddy they know and the alcoholic dad he plays in the movie "Friday Night Lights." McGraw says he didn't want his daughters to see the movie because they may "not be able to understand the difference." He says he pulled from a lot of people he knew as a boy in Louisiana to play the part of Charles Billingsley, the bullying father of a teen-age football player. McGraw says he liked doing the movie. And he says it's "pretty cool" when people who don't know him as a singer recognize him from the movie. "Friday Night Lights" comes out on DVD next week.
