Running Scene
Sometimes you just have to call in sick. Not Tom Hanks though. The actor was suffering from a bout of flu when he shot the football running scene but chose to pass on bed rest. Well, we are sure he tried but unfortunately, due to scheduling issues, for Tom Hanks, this wasn’t an option. He still managed to shoot this iconic scene like the professional he is. Pity his brother wasn’t available for this shot though. Guess it was too much of a full-on, seeing it all type of shot that Jim just couldn’t help him this time. Let’s hand it to Tom, he did a swell job.

Girl With A Black Eye
The painting “Girl With a Black Eye” (also known as “The Shiner”) by Norman Rockwell served as the inspiration for the scene where Forrest patiently waited outside the principal’s office for his mother. This iconic artwork graced the cover of The Saturday Evening Post on May 23, 1953, marking Rockwell’s 277th out of 322 published paintings for the iconic magazine. Mary Whalen, the model in the painting, was hailed by Rockwell as his finest muse and went on to feature on three more Saturday Evening Post covers.
