The 2009 movie The Blind Side was a blockbuster hit that earned over $300 million. It earned actress Sandra Bullock an Oscar. Quinton Aaron starred in the lead role, a homeless football player from Nashville, Tennessee, who rose from poverty to become an offensive tackle in the NFL.
The movie was based on the real-life story of Michael Oher. Quinton Aaron has continued his acting career, but his greatest accomplishment is losing 200 lbs, and he’s not done yet. See the stunning before-and-after picture.
Quinton Aaron Opens Up About Food Addiction
The Blind Side was a blockbuster when it came out. But nearly two decades later, the public’s perception of the movie has changed. Michael Oher became the legal ward of Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy when he was eighteen. With their help and guidance, he overcame the odds and spent eight seasons in the NFL. He was part of the Baltimore Ravens when they became Super Bowl champions in 2013.
But in 2023, he changed his story and accused the Tuohys of tricking him into signing the conservatorship paperwork when he was eighteen. He filed a lawsuit to end the conservatorship.
Quinton Aaron has starred in countless other movies and TV shows since the blockbuster movie made him a household name. However, he struggled with his weight in his personal life.
Like many, he gained weight during the COVID pandemic. During a recent appearance on the Recovery Vow podcast, he opened up about his food addiction.
He confessed, “Food was my drug. I was eating when I wasn’t even hungry. Just going out and buying food and sitting in my car in the parking lot, eating it and crying and not knowing why. I’m like, ‘Why do I feel this way?’”
At the time, he had already lost a significant amount of weight. The Blind Side star just hit a huge milestone in his weight loss journey and looks unrecognizable.

And he’s not done yet. The movie star added, “I have 55 more pounds to go to reach my over all goal of 320 lbs.” His fans took to the comments to react to his shocking weight loss. Some compared it to singer Jelly Roll’s inspiring weight loss journey.
