15 Rich And Famous People Who Used To Be Homeless

Michael Oher's story of homelessness and struggle in 'The Blind Side' was inspirational to the world.

During his childhood and teenaged years, Oher was living on the streets while his crack-addicted mother lived in public housing, reported NPR.

He was eventually taken in to live with a wealthy family, played college football at the University of Mississippi and drafted into the NFL in 2009 for the Baltimore Ravens.

His inspirational story was turned into Michael Lewis's 2006 book "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game" and the movie "The Blind Side."
