Iconic Movie Moments That Became Better With Famous Lines Not In The Script

In the much-loved movie “Forrest Gump,” the main character, Forrest, joins the Army and meets his friend Bubba, who says, “People call me ‘Bubba.'” Forrest was supposed to just say, “My name is Forrest Gump,” according to the script.

But Tom Hanks, who played Forrest, decided to copy Bubba and added, “People call me Forrest Gump.” The director, Robert Zemeckis, thought it was so good and fit the character perfectly that he kept it in the movie. This small change by Hanks turned into a big and memorable part of the film. It shows how actors can make movies even better with their ideas.
