Former NFL tackle Michael Oher has shared his feelings about the movie ‘The Blind Side,’ which was inspired by his life, amid the ongoing drama with his adopted family.
Oher is not at all happy with the way he was portrayed in the film. He believes it made him seem dimwitted, although he went on to have a productive NFL career.
The former Ole Miss player was a first-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft and remained in the league until 2016, winning a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens.
Still, he reckons the film that told his life story negatively impacted him.
“The N.F.L. people were wondering if I could read a playbook,” he said in an interview with the New York Times.
Michael Oher Saw “Dumb” Everywhere
Oher, who previously filed a lawsuit against Sean and Leigh-Anne Tuohy, says he refused to watch the movie but was eventually convinced by a teammate.
“It’s hard to describe my reaction,” he remarked. “It seemed kind of funny to me, to tell you the truth, like it was a comedy about someone else. It didn’t register. But social media was just starting to grow, and I started seeing stuff that I’m dumb. I’m stupid. Every article about me mentioned ‘The Blind Side,’ like it was part of my name.
“If my kids can’t do something in class, will their teacher think, Their dad is dumb — is that why they’re not getting it?”
Michael Oher’s lawsuit against the Tuohy family is still ongoing.
Last year, a judge ended the conservatorship he signed with them in high school. But he believes that a lot of money was kept from him while the family profited tremendously off his name.
