Tim McGraw leaving a crumb trail from the pantry is all of us.

Although Tim McGraw is a country music superstar, he’s always had the unique ability to stay relatable to his fans. His down-to-earth demeanor and age-old lyrics about life’s simple pleasures are enough to make him feel like family.

But, we just learned something else about the world-famous entertainer that makes him more relatable than ever: his favorite midnight snack.

In an interview with ET Canada, the Louisiana-born singer shared he’s a sucker for his wife, Faith Hill’s, outstanding Southern cooking. But, beyond the home-cooked dishes of cornbread, collard greens, and even good old-fashioned Coca-Cola cake that make their way onto his plate, there’s one more “indulgent” meal he loves to dine on (especially at night).

"I love Cocoa Puffs," McGraw said. "My wife can tell when I get up in the middle of the night because I leave a trail of Cocoa Puffs all over 'cause I overfill my bowl."

As the parents of three girls, McGraw and Hill have probably stocked the pantry with plenty of kid’s cereals over the years, but a bowl of Cocoa Puffs with milk is dad's snack of choice. “Gotta have the milk,” he adds.

Tim McGraw loving chocolate cereal is right up there with Stanley Tucci loving a a PB sandwich and Jennifer Garner loving chocolate magic shell. Surprising, yet somehow, not surprising at all.

No matter how humble, it’s usually the most familiar foods that offer the most comfort.

So, the next time you wonder where the country music legend gets the energy to perform his new album to millions, just remember it's those late-night overfilled bowls of Cocoa Puffs that keep him on top. Celebrities: They’re just like us.
