After she died, Forrest buried her in his backyard and had the house she grew up in condemned, due to painful childhood memories of her father.

Bubba and Forrest became fast friends during their service in the Army. In fact, Forrest planned to become Bubba's first mate on his shrimp boat. Bubba's family also had a history of cooking shrimp.

Lieutenant Dan was Forrest and Bubba's commanding officer. He had ancestors who died in every American war.

Former Beatle John Lennon was the guest on Dick Cavett's show, along with Forrest. When Forrest mentioned the Chinese had hardly any belongings and didn't go to church, Lennon used lyrics to his song "Imagine", i.e. "no possessions, no religion too". When Cavett said it was hard to imagine, Lennon answered, "It's easy if you try."

Forrest showed the President the hole in his buttock. He later said it was a million-dollar wound, although he never received any money for it. He did meet President Nixon later and told him he was staying at a shady hotel. Nixon arranged for him to stay at a nicer hotel.

However, the hotel was located across from the Watergate building and Forrest reported to security that a bunch of people kept him awake with flashlights. This turned out to be the break-in scandal that led to Nixon's resignation.
10. I didn't meet Forrest until later in the movie. When we did meet, I was watching "Sesame Street". Jenny was my mother and Forrest raised me after she died. Which character was I?

After Forrest ran around the country for three years, Jenny wanted to see him. She was living in Georgia and told him about Forrest Jr., who was the consequence of a passionate night between Forrest and Jenny. Unlike Forrest, Forrest Jr. was very intelligent.
