Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump
Prior to his role in Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks was already an acclaimed actor who had earned an Academy Award for his performance in Philadelphia. Just a year later, he secured another Oscar for Best Actor, embodying a kind-hearted yet simple-minded character navigating the challenges of post-World War Two America. Interestingly, it is worth noting that if John Travolta had not declined the role initially, we would have never had the opportunity to witness Hanks’ remarkable portrayal.

Tom Hanks – Now
It’s quite unexpected to learn about Tom Hanks’ current endeavor: vending peanuts and hot dogs at Oakland A’s baseball games. Interestingly enough, this isn’t his first time selling snacks in stadiums, as he did so at the age of 14. What adds to the amusement is the peculiar circumstances of the 2020 pandemic, where stadiums are filled with cardboard cutouts while the teams play. With his distinctive voice, Tom Hanks will now be selling hot dogs to these faux attendees, providing entertainment for fans watching on television.
