It's safe to say that Forrest Gump is an all time classic, full of famous quotes which we all still use today, despite it being released over 22 years ago in 1994.
You will have surely seen the film a fair few times, but probably not as many times as Tom Hanks' wife, Rita Wilson. The actress loves one scene in particular, and to give you more of a clue, it involves running.
The entertaining confession was revealed when Hanks appeared on 'The Graham Norton Show'. So, as we mentioned the scene in question is to do with his running (of course!) and the main reason why Wilson likes this particular part is because of the view of the famous actors rear as he runs. Whilst speaking to Team GB runner, Mo Farah, the most successful British track athlete in modern Olympic Games history, Hanks admitted he had to work very hard on his fitness and physique in order to be able to run faster for the film. This is obviously what helped him develop that backside his wife seems to admire! In fact, according to Hanks, every time the film pops up on the TV, Hanks' wife enjoys rewinding it and watching the scene again just to enjoy the view.
To make the moment that bit more real, Graham Norton asked the guest to recreate the moment from the film by saying the quote from the scene when Forrest discovered his passion for running. Now, as we are aware the film was a fair few years ago, we may have to let Hanks off as he couldn't remember the lines straight off the top of his head. As a result, he was given a bit of help from a lady with some cue cards behind the camera. With the aid of the cue cards, Hanks had no problem jumping straight back into the skin of Forrest Gump to deliver the quote perfectly much to delight of the double gold Olympic medalist, Mo Farah, as well as the packed out audience.
"Run, Farah, Run!"
The scene which we are talking about is when Forrest decides to leave all his problems behind, and just run and run and run. As Forrest sprints out the house and heads down the road, the camera manages to get a solid view of the Hanks' bottom. In all honesty, we can't really blame Rita Wilson.
