The Sequel
In the sequel, Gump & Co., Forrest succeeds in raising his shenanigans on to the next level. He accidentally takes out the Berlin Wall, gets himself involved with the Iran-Contra affair, fights in Desert Storm and experiences many more adventures that create new memories.
The Real Long Run
Back in 1982, a teenager boy, Louis Michael Figueroa, set off on foot from his home in New Jersey to San Francisco. He was only 16, but determined to raise awareness for the American Cancer Society. Forrest Gump’s famous lines in the movie:”I just put one foot in front of the other. When I get tired I sleep. When I get hungry I eat. When I have to go to the bathroom, I go”, were actually slightly modified from the words that Louis said when asked about his historical long run.
