Best Of Bubba
Lucky for fans, it is not just the restaurants worldwide you can visit to pay tribute to Bubba. Something special awaits fans in Downtown Disney of Orlando’s Disney World. There you can visit the authentic shrimp boat from the movie that sits along a moat that surrounds the restaurant. Then, inside the establishment, they have an actual ping pong paddle Hanks used and autographed up on display!
Endearing Mother
Although Sally Fields is only about a decade older than Hanks, she truly captured the motherly essence. Audiences got the sense that Gump depended on his mother who is constantly relaying her wisdom to him. Many hardly noticed the small age gap between the two.
