The Blind Side actor Quinton Aaron was blindsided when he was kicked off a US Airways flight on Friday because he couldn't fit in the seat.

At 6-foot-8 and 500 pounds, Aaron usually buys two seats when he flies but the plane he was flying on was booked.

According to TMZ, Aaron boarded Flight 4215 at 9:30 a.m. in Philadelphia for a one-hour trip to Rochester. However he never got to fly as the flight crew came by and politely asked the 29-year-old actor to leave the plane.

A passenger that was sitting next to Aaron was unable to squeeze himself past the actor. Aaron said he tried to reason with the crew, but his efforts were fruitless. After he left the plane, he booked another flight with two seats.

"I definitely need two seats," he told TMZ. "It worked out for the better ... my knees weren't pushed into the back of the metal on someone else's seat."

The original flight that Aaron was on was a small, narrow 50-seat plane called a De Havilland DHC-8-300 model, manufactured by Bombardier. None of the seats on the plane recline.

The DailyMail contacted US Airways but a spokeswoman named Michelle Mohr wouldn't confirm the incident out of privacy. US Airways has no policy on their website that a passenger must leave the plane if they can't fit in the seat without preventing other passengers from sitting comfortably.

Mohr said they try to make passengers as safe and comfortable as possible. She said that the flight crew would try to work with passengers if they needed extra space. "If all the seats are sold out, we do need to accommodate the person on another flight," the airline representative told the Mail.

Aaron is best known for his role as the football player Michael Oher is in the 2009 film The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock.
