NFL Legend Blames Sandra Bullock For His Career Downfall
After starring in the 2009 movie, Sandra Bullock won her first Oscar for the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role. Although the actress found her first Oscar, the real-life NFL legend on who this story was based, had complaints about the film.
Although the film depicted the underdog story of Michael Oher, his NFL teammates apparently took a different viewpoint on their teammate. The movie depicted the struggles that Oher had to go through and the support of his family. Albeit the movie did well, the NFL legend claimed that the movie’s depiction of his career was downgraded.
“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.”
The real-life legend further commented how he was grateful to the family that adopted him, Oher stated that nobody does that anymore.
“To take somebody from my neighborhood into your house? Nobody does that. I don’t think I’d even do that. I’d help you out, but with a daughter and with the violence and drugs where I came from … they didn’t have to do that. I owe them a lot.”
