Four Christmases landed the No. 1 spot over the holiday weekend, grossing nearly $32 million at the box office. But in a recent interview with GAC, Faith Hill revealed hubby Tim McGraw was “terrified” to take the role of an amateur cage fighter for the comedy.   “He says, ‘I don't wanna do this. I'm scared. I don't wanna do comedy,’” Hill told GAC. “I said, ‘You have to do comedy.’ Just the script alone -- I was on the floor reading it. And then when he got in and started filming the movie, he was great. I think he surprised himself. He could actually be really funny!”  Hill did warn that parents with younger children might not want to bring the kids along for this film.  “It's kinda raunchy,” she explained to GAC. “[It's OK] for older kids, but not your six-year-old that's gonna repeat everything.”  Four Christmases stars Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon as a couple who squeezes four Christmas celebrations into one day. McGraw is featured in the film as Vaughn’s brother.
