The Real Oher Didn’t Have Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock was, of course, the actress who played Leigh Ann Tuohy, Oher’s adoptive mom in the film. She pushed him and encouraged him with tough love throughout the story of the film. All of this led to his success in football. But Oher doesn’t recall Tuohy being the way she was portrayed onscreen. In fact, some of her presence is greatly exaggerated in the movie, and Oher set the record straight about this later.
