Leigh Anne Tuohy, (the real woman Bullock portrays in “The Blind Side”) has been happily promoting the film, but her adopted son, Michael Oher, has been conspicuously quiet.
The Baltimore Ravens rookie, (23) missed the film’s premieres (though he has since seen the movie) and has declined recent interviews.
“He’s got a job to do right now,” says Tuohy. “He’ll be more visible when the season is over.”
But Oher, who’s the Ravens’ starting right tackle, has hinted that he’s uncomfortable with some elements of the Michael Lewis book on which the film was based, telling The Baltimore Sun, “Some things in it are the truth, some things are not. People have got to do things to sell it.”
Oher is currently “In the trenches (probably) getting trash-talked about some distorted version of his life,” says author Lewis. “He’s a bit embarrassed.”
