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.”

I just wanted to say that you all inspire me. I love the fact of what the Tuoy family did for Michael. I know that life can be tough. I am a single mother of three kids. My family was poor and there were four of us. My parents did the best they could. Michael, I am proud of you for reaching your goals and following your dreams this just shows everyone that if they focus and do their best they are capable of anything. You were never mad about what happened to you you just looked forward and kept stepping forward. Congratulations on your outcome. You are a true blessing to everyone and an inspiration. I hope that I can fullfill my dreams. Like I said I am a sinle mother but that has not stopped me. I have my Associates degree in Accounting and I am working full time at Wal-Mart. I live by myself with my three kids and I do my best. I put my kids in sports and try to teach them right from wrong.
