Real-Life Forrest Gump Sets Out to Walk Across America— Until He Finds a Snake in His Path

He Resembled “Forrest Gump” More Every Day

Paramount Pictures

The movie “Forrest Gump” has been a part of American culture for a long time. So much so that his name has slowly slipped into our everyday vernacular when it comes to running. When we say that Mike Posner is a present-day Forrest Gump, it’s because we associate Tom Hank’s character with overcoming tribulation. Forrest Gump might have ran nearly 15,000 miles, but the premise remains the same. Posner started this run shortly after the death of his father, knowing that a long run may help him clear his mind, as it did for Gump.
