Gosh Tom Hanks stole my heart with Philadelphia and the Forrest Gump was just mind blowing acting. What a fabulous guy, love him 🥰

[@tessycallado1332]

A great and delightful actor!

[@reddish8692]

Genius move to adapt to the kid and not the other way around. Forrest Gump is just a great, great movie. Wish I had watched it in the cinema back then

This man is so kind, down to earth, genuine and woke that … omg… hes the foundation of Hubby Material 💕 I don’t have a father… but I always looked up to Tom as one of my “father figures”. Very proud I picked a great man. 💙

Tom Hanks is an amazing actor. His movie's hits are heartbreaking. The boy in this movie/real-life story was a unicorn baby. He was/is an amazing emotionally strong person. His mother was an amazing emotional strong mother figure. " The Green Mile " is also a movie hard to watch. He obviously was innocent. He couldn't kill a fly. He was scared of the dark. He wasn't a killer. He wasn't a monster. But he was African tall 194cm. He was an easy target.

Tom Hanks = *Legend!*

[@ConstantGardener-q9q]

He’s such a charming man

[@wsjustice]

Oh, Dragnet. Yeah, I like that too.

[@stacyfrazierbauer8811]

You could never make a movie like Philadelphia these days. No way! Could you imagine.

[@SuperVinccent]

Tom Hanks is super actor

[@stanfordcoffee]

Run, Wilson, Run. We have a problem!

[@officialcjberetta]

I think it’s cool he created a character for a movie based upon a kid who’s suppose to be plying young him. So maybe even tho the screenplay was written a certain way he took all the attributes of the kid an made it him. That’s just cool.

[@luckyvlad4530]

Один из самых величайших актеров, крутой мужик!)

[@billadams484]

I just watched another interview where he said the young man was from deep Mississippi. That;s where I live. Which one is it??

[@stacyfrazierbauer8811]

That's crazy little Michael doesn't talk or act like that anymore.

[@bathtangle]

A ton of Americans saw Andy and Miguel and quietly decided why not? Slowly parents realized that, That is my Child! Change comes slow but dads and moms drive change.

[@OriginalPuro]

"A ton of Americans saw Andy and Miguel and quietly decided why not?" Yes, a ton of Americans saw Andy and Miguel and quietly decided why not. A strange question, right there.

[@xxcharmed1xx]

“Yeah yeah yeah…” It seems like Tom Hanks doesnt recognize how great a movie Forrest Gump is and doesnt like to acknowledge it.

[@roberthatlem4645]

Or could be he's kinda tired of facing all the same questions over and over again😅😅 just a theory 😊

[@snafubar5491]

And so was born the BamaGumps. #WarDayummEagle!!! Three little words that make every BamaGumper pee-their-pants!!! Bet ole Nikky Satan STILL wishin for that .01 second back......WDE!!!

[@tamiramos5873]

Its sad that Tom doesn't know his geography nor does he remember where Michael was from. He says one state in this interview...and another state on a different interview.

A 3rd and a 3rd and a 3rd. That is big in the occult.

[@unappreciatedtreehouse821]

Has Tom Hanks never looked at a map of the United States?

[@OriginalPuro]

He did, in Cast Away.

[@bengodwin3541]

Bahahah I was saying like dude sucks at geography lmao

Forrest Gump had nothing to do with being gay. Did I miss something or is this another clickbait video?

[@susandemetry7158]

They start out talking about the movie Philadelphia where Hanks played a gay man with HIV and his struggles. An excellent movie for which he won an Academy award.

[@timauth]

@@susandemetry7158 Ok. So the video just has a bad title.

[@susandemetry7158]

@@timauth that's correct

[@Happybidr]

No-the inspiration for Forrest Gump was little Michael, the kid who played little Forrest.
