Famous Props
Bubba Gump restaurants can be found all over the world. Most of them are in the United States, and in some of them there is more than just a shrimp dish experience. In Downtown Disney, fans can see the actual shrimp boat from the movie. Inside one of the restaurants, the ping-pong paddles Forrest Gump used in the movie hang in a key location on the wall where fans can admire them. It has Tom Hanks’ signature on it too.
Forrest Gump’s Mother
Sally Field gave a brilliant performance as Forrest Gump’s loving mother. Although her character appeared to be really old in the movie, the interesting fact is that Sally Field was just over a decade older than Tom Hanks, while performing this role.
