What's left behind the scenes
- Elizabeth Olsen does her own singing in the film.
- Tom Hiddleston performs all the songs himself. In the concert scene, he lip-syncs to his own recording, while performing the compositions 'I Saw The Light' and 'Your Cheatin' Heart' live.
- To lose weight, which was necessary for the look of the character, Tom Hiddleston ran 16 kilometers and cycled 25 kilometers every day.
- To prepare for the role of Hank Williams (1923-1953), Tom Hiddleston moved in with Nashville-based country performer Rodney Crowell, in whose home he took an accelerated course in singing and guitar. Crowell himself was only 2 years old when his father took him to a Williams concert. Crowell grew up to be a passionate admirer of Williams' work, a country performer, and a recipient of numerous awards in the field.
