While Michael Oher was not thrilled about the movie, he seems to bear no hard feelings toward the talented actors and actresses who brought his life story to the big screen. As a matter of fact, one cast member continues to play a role in his life – we’re talking about none other than Sandra Bullock! She tries to check on him and the rest of the Tuohy family every now and then. The actress has also been incredibly supportive of the football star and his career, cheering for him whenever she gets the opportunity to do so. You might even spot her at the bleachers cheering for Michael Oher during the Super Bowl games!

Security Guard Turned Hollywood Actor

You’ll have a hard time finding a fan who wasn’t touched by Quinton Aaron’s amazing portrayal of Michael Oher. Considering how well he acted, it is hard to believe that this was actually the first lead role for the actor! Before The Blind Side, he only took on minor parts and worked as a security guard. This is not difficult to believe when you take into account his stature and strength. Apparently, he didn’t expect to snag the big role during his audition, and even offered his business card to John Lee Hancock to offer his security services for the film set. We are so happy that this humble man earned his breakout role in this film!
