Written by . Published: April 05 2014

Actor Quinton Aaron was forced to give up his seat on a flight from Pennsylvania to New York City on Friday (04Apr14) when stewards told him he was too big to fly.


The Blind Side star, who reportedly weighs in at close to 500 pounds (227 kilograms) was asked to leave the plane by an attendant when the passenger next to him could not get to his seat.


Aaron obliged and booked two seats on a later flight.


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