That kid is responsible for one of the most iconic characters of all time.

It's brilliant of him to take that stress off the kid as well as realize how perfect it was.

[doris]

It made the character!!! Good for Tom Hanks for seeing what works and running with it

Tom Hanks is so very talented. ... the ease with which he does the voices.

[jenniferw]

So glad they found the perfect child to play Forrest as a kid.

[bigbassjonz]

That voice put the entire character together.

[cleodmr]

Tom is brilliant!! To be able to speak like this sweet kid who is responsible for one of the best known and beloved characters in cinema!!

[pitsiericmotlatla]

Tom Hanks is a nice guy. Instead of making it easy for himself he made it easy for the kid. That's such a kind thing.

[phoenixgate]

I love that he’s appreciating someone’s unique dialect.

[RhysGFrelsa-Eudyptula]

I love how Tom Hanks changed the way he spoke in character to match the kid instead of forcing the kid to change. That is how you find the best actors/actresses.

Young Forrest grew up went into the military, Tom has stayed close to him till this day. Tom Hanks has proven time and time again that he is the GOAT.

That boy deserves a piece of Tom’s Academy Award…👍😜❤️

It’s so genius. It’s geographically accurate, it’s easier than retraining a kid to speak without a heavy accent and it literally roots the entire charm of the character.

[gagekoval]

I always thought he just did his own accent. That's awesome. Makes the movie so much better. That kid Is basically the main character in probably the most known movie of all time.

Tom Hanks is incredibly talented. We're lucky to have him.

[margiefortune]

I have always LOVED To Hanks. he is so talented and I feel that he is such a good person.

[FairyMomma]

I love how his thought was to change to match the kid, not the other way around. And it worked out so well! Iconic!

[PaulMcClennon]

You can tell that Hanks spent a lot of time on this as it just takes him a couple of stutters before the muscle memory kicks in and he’s forest again.

[rubywingo]

People in the South have the most beautiful accents!
