Forrest Gump – “People Call Me Forrest Gump”
In the Academy Award-winning film Forrest Gump, actor Tom Hanks made up for a brief bout of forgetfulness by uttering a perfect line of dialogue. Hanks was in a scene in which his character meets his new friend, Bubba. Bubba tells Forrest his real name but then says that people call him Bubba. Hanks quickly replied, “My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.” This bit of improv became one of the film’s many comedic highlights.
