The film Forrest Gump has got to be one of the most heart warming films ever made, Forrest Gump is as likeable as Tom Hanks himself... or ice-cream for that matter.
Trivia: According to Tom Hanks, the film's director Robert Zemeckis said to him that he needed to teach Micheal Connor Humphreys (the child actor playing young Forrest) to talk the way Hanks was hoping to portray Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks suggested that he should just teach himself to speak like the child actor instead, he recorded many conversations he had with Micheal Connor Humphreys in order to get the southern accent right.
Tom Hanks' brother Jim Hanks also doubled for many of the wide angled running scenes in this film, others were screen tested however Jim Hanks was the only one who could mimic Forrest's distinctive run.
