<|assistant|>
The real life character that inspired the 2009 film The Blind Side is Michael Oher, an American football offensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League. He was adopted by the Oher family, played college football for the University of Mississippi, and was drafted by the Panthers in 2015. Oher's story was also featured in the 2009 book of the same name, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, by Michael Lewis.
 
Michael Oher experienced profound homelessness and was eventually taken in and supported by the Oher family, who helped him pursue his interest in football as well as his academic development. Through this experience, his adopted family encountered some struggles in terms of how he was legally and socially treated. They also experienced joy and growth due to their selfless decision to care for this young man in their midst. The Blind Side chronicles this remarkable situation through a powerful and inspiring story, and continues to impact viewers with its insight into the power of family and love.
