Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks, Sally Field, Robin Wright, and Gary Sinise among others, was released in 1994. The film has become one of the most beloved movies of all time, with the catchphrase “run, Forrest, run” running through our minds when we think of the film. But no matter how many times you’ve watched the movie there’s a lot you may not now that went on behind the scenes.

In a stroke of faith and brilliance, Tom Hanks was not paid for playing the role of Forrest Gump. Instead, Tom signed for a certain percentage of the film’s profit.
Little did he know the film would be the glorious success that it would later become, earning him a whopping $40 million! We have a feeling Tom must have known what gold he was sitting on when it came to the script and the film itself. It was also Hanks who made Forrest come to life in a way that could not be ignored.
