Future Trouble
Ten years after Forrest Gump was released, Williamson was complaining about how he had trouble getting work. He thought Hollywood executives we sure he was actually disfigured and that he had an unusually large lip. To clear it all up, the actor made an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman to show the world he didn’t have big lips. Quickly, matters cleared up and he went on to star in shows like 24.

Well, once Forrest Gump was released, they were able to rest easy. The movie made an incredible $678 million from a $55 million budget. Put in today’s rates, it would equal $1.1 billion!
