Faith Hill said growing her armpit hair to prepare for "1883" was "really difficult."
On Friday, Hill appeared alongside Courteney Cox for Variety's "Actors on Actors" series to discuss her work in "1883." The western drama is a prequel to Paramount Network's "Yellowstone," and Hill stars alongside her husband, Tim McGraw.
During their conversation, Cox asked Hill if she had to grow out her armpit hair to make the role more authentic. Hill agreed, adding that the series creator Taylor Sheridan called her and McGraw, 55, ahead of filming.

"That was really difficult, and Taylor actually called my husband," Hill said. "We were at a wedding, our nephew's wedding, and he said, 'Who's gonna be the one to tell your wife that she has to stop shaving under her arms?' And I'm thinking, 'What? We're at a wedding. Can this wait?' He goes, 'No, stop tonight.'"
Hill continued that she asked if they could tape hair under her arms instead and pointed out that some male cast members wore fake beards. However, Hill said she stopped shaving her armpits a few months before filming began.
Cox said that she typically used laser hair removal.
"I don't laser, but I may now, so I never have to do that again. It really grossed me out, I have to say," Hill said.
Hill added that she supports other women who chose not to shave, but it wasn't for her.
"All due respect to those who love that, and all that freedom," Hill continued. "But for me, personally, I just don't like it."
"1883" follows the Dutton family as they travel west across the US. Faith Hill plays Margaret Dutton, while Tim McGraw plays Margaret's husband, James Dutton. The series premiered in December 2021 and the finale aired in February.

Both Hill and McGraw have spoken about working together, including in May when McGraw told Variety's podcast that Hill forced him to take a shower while they were filming "1883."
"There were a few times that my wife forced me to take a shower while we were shooting, because I wanted to stay in character as best I could," McGraw said.
In December 2021, McGraw told People's Eileen Finan that Hill slapped him much harder than he anticipated during one scene.
"I was expecting a finger slap but it was a paw to the jaw," McGraw told the outlet. "There was 25 years of pent-up aggression going on! When you see it on screen, you realize it was a genuine hit."
