The original plan was for Hanks to create a distinct voice for Forrest, but a chance encounter with his young co-star, Michael Connor Humphreys, changed everything. • Humphreys, who played the young Forrest Gump, hailed from Mississippi and possessed a thick Southern accent. Director Robert Zemeckis realized that having a child actor mimic a different voice would be difficult, if not impossible. Hanks, ever the resourceful actor, saw an opportunity. • Instead of creating a voice, Hanks decided to emulate Humphreys' natural speech patterns. He spent time with the young actor, recording hours of casual conversation. Hanks paid close attention to Humphreys' cadence, the way he drew out vowels, and the characteristic hard g sound at the end of words ( thinkin' instead of thinking ). • By basing Forrest's voice on a real person, Hanks imbued the character with an authenticity that resonated with audiences. The childlike innocence captured in Humphreys' voice carried over to adult Forrest, making him a sympathetic and endearing protagonist. This choice not only simplified production but also became a defining element of Forrest Gump's enduring legacy. • http://didyoucatchthis.com • / didyoucatchthis • / didyoucatchthis • / didyoucatchthistv • / diducatchthis • How 'Forrest Gump' Got His Voice #behindthescences • • How 'Forrest Gump' Got His Voice #beh... • #shorts
