Before playing him in "The Blind Side," Tim McGraw knew who Sean Tuohy was in real life. Most people wouldn't.
But, McGraw says as a kid growing up in northern Louisiana, he got to see a lot of Ole Miss games and Sean Tuohy played for Ole Miss.
"The Blind Side" is the story of a a couple, Sean and the very strong-willed Leigh Anne Tuohy, played by McGraw and Sandra Bullock, who take-in and eventually adopt a poverty-stricken classmate of their daughter's. That student is Michael Oher (OR), who now plays for the Baltimore Ravens.
McGraw says he lives in a home where his wife, Faith Hill, "runs the show." He says he's
thankful she does. "The Blind Side" opens today.
