London, Dec 27 (IANS) Actress Gwyneth Paltrow was left in tears after she punched her co-star Tim McGraw in her new movie ‘Country Strong’ because she had never hit anyone in her life.

After faking the punch several times for the cameras, McGraw started calling her names in a bid to get her angry enough to hit him for real and she did exactly that, reports express.co.uk.

‘I’d never hit anyone in my life, and I didn’t like it at all,’ she said.

Director Shana Feste added: ‘Tim started being very combative with her and egging her on. She ended up whacking him and she started crying afterward.’
