The True Story Behind The “Blind Side”

Oher Is An Extrovert With A “Wicked” Sense Of Humor

We’ve talked about how Michael Oher wasn’t really timid on the high school football field when he was getting his start but what about off the field? His teammates have praised Oher for his fun-loving nature and his love of life. Many of his fellow athletes have told reporters that he is a really funny guy who can hold a conversation without any signs of being shy. In his own New York Times best-selling autobiography, his humor makes a few enjoyable appearances, proving that he’s not just the lovable oaf that is portrayed throughout “The Blind Side.” Apparently, a clueless teen from a poor black area was an easier sell for the movie’s producers.
