Julia Roberts Declined The Part
Do you have any guesses about the other contender for the part of Leigh Anne Tuohy? The role was also offered to Julia Roberts but she turned it down as she felt she was not right for the character. Sandra Bullock replaced her in the end and it seems like this worked out for the better. Her knockout performance in the film took her career to a whole new level. Considering how successful the film ended up becoming, we can’t help but wonder if Julia Roberts regrets saying no to the executives!
Just Two Years Apart
A lot of people who fell head over heels with the movie and big fans of football could see the resemblance shared by actor Quinton Aaron and football star Michael Oher. Among other things, they have the same physique and the difference in height was negligible. However, they were slightly different in terms of age. In reality, Quinton Aaron is a little older than Michael Oher as the former was born in 1984 and the latter in 1986. Nonetheless, the age gap doesn’t matter since Quinton Aaron was still able to deliver a fine performance!
