[post_page_title]Inspired by a real event[/post_page_title]
The running segment in Forrest Gump was inspired by an actual event; a sixteen-year-old named Louis Michael Figueroa ran from New Jersey to San Fransisco in 1982.
Figueroa ran the distance in support of the American Cancer Society. The line, “I just put one foot in front of the other, When I get tired I sleep. When I get hungry I eat. When I have to go to the bathroom, I go” was inspired by the event.
