Oh, and thinking Forest Gump was a real historical figure as a kid lmao

I knew it was a movie and he was being played by Tom Hanks who’s an actor and a different guy, but I thought it was Based On A True Story™️ and that the character was a real guy that they embellished

“Of course he was a real guy, who else would’ve founded the real Bubba-Gump Shrimp Company restaurants?”
