London:
Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow suffered bleeding and cramping while learning to play guitar for her role in Country Strong.
The Shakespeare in Love star plays the role of an alcoholic country music star in the film, opposite the American country singer and actor, Tim McGraw as her husband. Paltrow went from not knowing how to even hold a guitar to being able to pluck the strings like a professional, by spending hours working with session guitarist Mark Jaimes, Contactmusic reported.
"I played all the time, and my hands were bleeding and cramping. It sucked. I cried, like, five times at various points over the four months. It's really hard. It's muchharder than it looks. But at the same time, it was kind of exhilarating to be learning chords and putting them together," the Oscar-winner said.
After all the hard work, Paltrow showed her musical skills by making a live debut during the Country Music Association Awards.
