the actor Gary Sinise sit in a wheelchair wearing blue fabric with the magic of CGI they helped him lose his legs Jenni's nude scene in the scene where Jenny is singing in a nightclub naked actress Robin Wright was miserable she was sick and sniffling through every scene what was worse was that the scene took all day to get right prosthetic lip Bubba had a big bottom lip that stuck out the actor

Haley Joel Osment played forests son when he was only four years old when hanks received the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award Haley admitted that he thought he had the lead role in the film not Hanks run Forrest run in the movie Forrest doesn't awful lot of running and that means that Tom Hanks had to do an awful lot of running his brother Jim Hanks was actually a runner and the two looked fairly similar so they had Jim do the long-distance running scenes to give Tom a break growing up during the film forest grows up on screen one thing that remains the same at forested all the ages though is
