Tom Hanks in ‘Forrest Gump’

Tom Hanks was 38 in 1994, a perfectly appropriate age to play the beloved character of Forrest Gump in the bus stop scenes and beyond. However, Hanks also played Forrest as a high schooler in the famous “Run, Forrest, Run!” scene without really any efforts at de-aging his appearance, ranking him among the oldest actors to play a teenager in recent film history.
