Tom Hanks apparently ain't the nice guy that everyone makes him out to be. A forthcoming biography on Hanks quotes some court papers filed by his now-deceased ex-wife who alleged some nastiness on Hanks's part, but more interestingly, the biographer:
reveals that Hanks' kid brother, Jim, played a Forrest Gump-type character in a little-known soft-core sex flick two years before Tom created the role that won him an Oscar. In "Buford's Beach Bunnies," Jim invented the "now-famous jerky run associated with Forrest Gump" and, like Gump, showed a shy politeness toward women by calling them "ma'am," the author says.
A little known fact about the movie Forrest Gump is that much like how footage of JFK was digitally manipulated to show Forrest meeting him, Robert Zemeckis originally had Forrest getting a nice, sloppy blowjob from Linda Lovelace. Unfortunately, that scene ended up on the cutting room floor after Zemeckis had enough of Forrest going "whu- whu- whu- whu-" over and over again.
Swear to God.
