Tim McGraw Visits Cincinnati Children's Hospital

Tim McGraw may be a country music superstar, but he's also a dad with a big heart that breaks for sick kids. While in Cincinnati for a concert on June 29th, he took time out to visit the kids at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

Tim sat down in Seacrest Studios with WKID 33 (a TV and radio station that broadcasts to hospital patients) and talked to the broadcaster and some of the kids, sharing that he was intimidated by being there with the kids.

Tim talked a little about his daughters - ages 17, 15 and 12 - after he was asked how they handled him being a superstar. He explained that they aren't impressed by his superstar status. "I don't think they even think about it. I think I embarrass them most of the time," he said. "“They’re into their lives, you know, they have school and friends. I think that what I do is the last thing on their mind."

One young lady asked him if he had ever been in the hospital. Tim's been lucky on that count, he has only been hospitalized once and that was to have his appendix out, so it was a short stay.

A little boy wanted to know what he does in his off time. McGraw shared that he likes to snorkel with his girls, fly airplanes and read.

He gave props to the people of Cincinnati, saying that he's played the city at least 15 times over the years. "It's always something that we look forward to," he said. "We always see this on our schedule and know it's going to be a really good show and a great crowd."
