[lastfm]Tim McGraw [/lastfm]is People Country’s Hottest Guy! Tim says, “I don’t feel like I am. I’ve been around a while. But I’ll take it! It certainly makes a guy my age feel good.” Tim jokes, “My wife would pick [lastfm]George Strait[/lastfm]. She thinks he’s gorgeous! Or [lastfm]Kris Kristofferson[/lastfm]… When we’re around him, she can barely speak.” McGraw might be middle-aged at 43, but he feels young in his new toned and trimmer 178-pound body. He recently lost 37 pounds and is staying clear of alcohol. He shares, “I don’t feel whatever 43 is supposed to feel like – I still feel pretty young. I’m more confident than I’ve ever been about who I am and what I do and I feel like I’ve got a lot more ahead of me than I do behind me.” Tim admits he’s not comfortable without his cowboy hat, noting, “I have thin hair, but everyone my age does – unless you’re George Clooney, and you hate those guys.” So what does Country’s Hottest Guy sleep in at night? He confesses, “Um… I tried, but I can’t have anything on me when I sleep.”
