Although her athletic talents were trumped in the film by Oher's accomplishments, her family continues to have immense pride in their daughter, and Collins continues to support Oher's football career.
But this scene was embellished for the sake of the film and in real life, the two met in a location that was much different than the one that was shown in the film. Oher claims that he first met Sean Tuohy when his future adoptive father visited him at his school. It seemed that from the very moment that the Tuohy family entered Oher's life, they wanted to do everything to make sure that he could succeed and achieve his goals. Aaron had a decent build, but he still had a lot of work to do to get in tip top shape to play Oher.
So, he decided to train with an actual college football team so he could fit right into the uniform and the role. And the process proved to be grueling, as it would be for anyone, let alone someone who isn't used to getting up at the crack of dawn to train and run and test their body's limits.
Aaron trained with the Yellow Jackets, which was the Georgia Tech University football team for months while the film was in production. This taught him how to feel more comfortable on the playing field when the time came to portray Oher.
Before the film, fans saw him as a successful athlete at the NFL level. But now a lot of people just see him as the NFL player Hollywood made a movie of, and this in part has made people downplay just how talented he actually is. And the fact that Oher's hardships were played on screen for millions of people to see didn't have a great effect on him either. The film only focused on how Oher was able to make it into the NFL, but Oher felt that the movie missed showing just how talented he was as an athlete and how his prowess helped the Baltimore Ravens achieve victory at the Super Bowl.
Not only did the movie downplay his success, but they failed to state just how tirelessly Oher continues to train and work to maintain his success in the sport. Until the film, he had never even stepped aboard a plane before. And while the film turned his life around, he was very grateful for the people in his life who made the opportunity possible.
Aaron might have had Sandra Bullock as an onscreen adoptive mother, but it was his real life mother that helped him land the audition that led to him winning the role. When she saw that Hollywood was looking for someone to play Oher, she knew her son would be a perfect fit so she submitted his name and the rest was history. But there were some struggles that went into doing the role that Aaron had to endure. Aaron put in a lot of hours of intense physical training to become Oher.
His journey also included having to lose pounds in a short period of just three months. But while the sacrifice was huge, it was worth it for Aaron to ultimately star in the film and receive praise from audiences all over the world on his role in the film.
And the movie also featured some familiar faces that had audiences stunned. But even though the movie had major star power, it still helped the careers of many of the established actors in the cast.

By the time he was 15, Oher was bunking up with a local athletic program director named Tony Henderson, who had an extra room in his house. Oher was already 6-footinches and pounds, which made him a prime recruit for drug dealers seeking some muscle.
He was less of a desirable prospect for prestigious private schools, but when Tony took his son Steven to the local Briarcrest Christian School, Big Mike, as he was called, tagged along for the ride anyway. He barely spoke during interviews, his reading comprehension level was closer to elementary school and tests showed he had an IQ that barely cracked Michael Oher stands with his family during senior ceremonies prior to a game against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on November 28, , in Oxford, Mississippi.
Still, the school football coach was interested in Oher, not just as a prospect for the team but as a redemption story. The principal, Steve Simpson, felt stirrings of sympathy and issued Oher a challenge: get his grades up in another private school and he could enter the far more prestigious Briarwood the next semester.
Within a few months, Simpson had a change of heart and admitted Oher to his school. But entering Briarwood was no panacea and produced no immediate change. The kid was out of place, shy, awkward and way behind. This is where the movie and real life began to diverge.
In reality, Oher couch-surfed at the homes of his fellow students and foster families for his first few years at school and played three sports — basketball, track and field and football — before ever meeting the Tuohy clan in In the movie, Oher — played by Quinton Aaron — is fully homeless and has nothing to do with athletics until the very wealthy and generous family took him in.
