The former NFL star whose life inspired the Oscar-winning film The Blind Side has alleged he was misled by the family that took him in.

Michael Oher, claims Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy falsely represented themselves as his adoptive parents when they'd actually placed him under a conservatorship.

Court documents show he also wants to know how much money they made by using his name and story.

He wants the agreement terminated and compensation based on the millions earned by the family.

He played eight seasons in the NFL after being drafted in 2009, and won a Super Bowl title with the Baltimore Ravens.

Sandra Bullock, won an Oscar for Best Actress playing Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side, which depicted how the Tuohys took in Oher when he was a homeless teenager.
