29. Tom Hanks Got A Bit Choosy

Paramount Pictures

Tom Hanks wasn’t entirely on board with the role when he first signed on. Though it only took an hour and a half of reading the script for him to figure out what it could mean for his career, the actor only agreed to take on the role under the condition that producers made sure the film was historically accurate. In reality, most of the events in Forrest Gump are at the very least loosely related to real events.
