Forrest Gump: Tom Hanks didn’t believe those scenes at all, and he was totally wrong!

American actor Tom Hanks recently revealed that he doesn’t believe in certain scenes from “Forrest Gump” at all, finally becoming a cult following. Find out which sequences it is!

The six Oscar-winning feature film Forrest Gump, a great classic of the 90s, is full of iconic scenes. And among them there are some that Tom Hanks didn’t believe at all. A big doubt that he expressed directly to director Robert Zemeckis before filming.

“In Forrest Gump, everything we shot on the park bench in Savannah, Georgia was just intermediary footage, filler for a possible narrative piece,” Tom Hanks said on CinemaBlend’s ReelBlend podcast last June.

And the Hollywood star, then in the midst of promoting the Elvis biopic, shared how he voiced his concerns to Robert Zemeckis: “I said to him, ‘Does anyone care about this guy sitting on a bench? What is that ? I mean nobody knows what’s in that box.”

“We ended up shooting these scenes, which were probably 13 pages of dialogue, in a day and a half,” the actor continues. “Everything was written on cards, but after a while I didn’t need to refer to them anymore because I got used to them.”
