All About Me
Haley Joel Osment, who played Forrest and Jenny’s son, was just four years old when he shot the film. Plus it was his first ever feature film role. With his young age and brand new career, Osment didn’t quite understand everything that was happening. When Tom Hanks earned the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, Osment admitted that back then he believed he was the lead role and not Hanks. He hadn’t understood that he wasn’t Forrest Gump but rather Forrest Gump Jr. In any case, this role propelled his acting career – he starred in The Sixth Sense and Pay It Forward shortly after.
