During Sunday's Super Bowl game between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers featured Ravens' Michael Oher's very high-profile cheerleader, Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock.
Bullock showed up to the New Orleans Superdome with her three-year-old adopted son Louis to cheer on Oher. She even dressed her son in an Oher jersey in support of the man whose life story inspired "The Blind Side," the 2009 film about a woman who opened her home to a homeless teen and fosters his love of football.
Bullock was stared in the film, playing Leigh Anne Tuohy, the woman who eventually adopted Oher and got him interested in playing football, ultimately leading up his first Super Bowl win.
Bullock's role in the movie earned her first Academy Award.
Along with her son, Bullock was accompanied to the game with the Tuohys family as they all cheered on their favorite Raven. She is said to be the 26-year-olds No.1 fan. "She follows Michael's career every step of the way," Leigh Anne Tuohy is quoted as saying of Bullock. "It's funny... I'll get texts [from her] during the game: 'Why did they do this? They should have done that.'"
Oher, an offensive tackle, was having a great game, throwing up blocks in the first half of Sunday's Super Bowl game, when the Ravens were obliterating the 49ers 28-6. Before the game he let the press know his head was in the game, and not in the movie about his life.
"I'm tired of the movie. I'm here to play football," he said when asked again about the 2009 film at Super Bowl Media Day last week. But, he added of the Tuohy's, "I've got them coming to the game... They're still my family."
Oher was born to a crack-addicted mother and has 11 other biological brothers and sisters. He was in-and-out of foster care until he met Tuohy during his teen years.
