Actor Quinton Aaron, who starred as Michael Oher in the hit 2010 film The Blind Side, was recently removed from a US Airways flight for being too overweight.

The 6’8″ 550 lb actor was reportedly taking up two seats. He has since vowed to lose weight because of the incident.

“As I saw the seats, I’m literally hoping that no one had to sit next to me because I knew it wasn’t going to work if they did,” Aaron told ABC News

Aaron appeared on MSNBC’s News Nation with Tamron Hall to discuss his ordeal and why it has inspired him to take his health more seriously.

The 29-year-old said when he was asked to leave the plane he “just grabbed my bag and just got off as quick as possible because it was embarrassing.”
