Michael Oher Wrote a Book to Set the Record Straight About “The Blind Side”
Michael Oher wasn’t a reserved, lonely, and uptight kind of guy like he was portrayed in the 2009 film “The Blind Side.” Oher disliked the way he was portrayed in the movie so much that he wrote a book to give a thorough look into who he was and what his life was like before he got adopted by the Tuohy family. His book tackles a few misconceptions the movie didn’t address. He even told ESPN.com, “People look at me, and they take things away from me because of a movie. They don’t really see the skills and the kind of player I am. That’s why I get downgraded so much, because of something off the field.”
