LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘The Blind Side’ actor Quinton Aaron, who has a towering height of 6 ft 8 inches and played Michael Oher in the 2009 movie, is not happy with people attacking his on-screen mother Sandra Bullock.
Since the NFL legend sued his adoptive family the Tuohys for profiting from the smash hit movie without sparing him a dime, the enraged fans have been slamming the Tuohys.
Bullock, who played Oher's on-screen mother in the flick, has been at the receiving end of the ire of internet users.
How tall is Quinton Aaron?
Quinton Aaron’s height is 6 ft 8 inches (207.2 cm) and he is making good use of it.
After Michael Oher, on whose life the film ‘The Blind Side’ was made, sued his adoptive Tuohy family for not giving him any part of the profit of the $300 million movie, fans started slamming the family and also Bullock.
Aaron was quick to come in his on-screen mother’s defense, as he said during an interview with Daily Mail, “Leave her alone. Don't come for my mama. I'm six-foot-eight, 400-plus pounds, and you don't want those problems.”
He said, “Sandra just suffered a loss and everything, so I'm pretty sure she's probably trying to stay out of the [spotlight] and just handle her situation as best she knows how,” referring to the death of Bullock’s longtime partner Bryan Randall.
Quinton Aaron, who is famous for his height, continued, “I heard some pretty disturbing things people were saying about her, and I'm not behind that.”
What did Quinton Aaron say about Michael Oher's lawsuit?
Oher claimed in the lawsuit that initially he was made to believe that the Tuohys adopted him, but that is far from the truth. They were actually his conservators, making them capable of legally acting on his behalf.
Oher criticized the couple for using his story to profit from the movie without giving him a share of the profit.
Quinton Aaron reacted to the accusations by saying he found it “heartbreaking” and said, “It has been crazy, I don't really know how to put it in words.”
While he was “under the assumption” they had a mutually good bonding, Aaron said, “I don't know personally anything about this, I learned when I saw the articles yesterday.”
He added, “But having met both parties, you know, obviously my heart breaks for the situation. I was under the assumption, like everybody, that the family was good all these years.”
“So it was just heartbreaking to see that article and my prayers go out to everyone. I'm hoping that it works out for the best. I hope that they can come to some kind of resolve that makes [everything] better,” continued the actor.
