Michael Conner Humphreys, the 8-Year-Old Adult
We saw Forrest as a boy and followed his journey into manhood. Humphreys plays young Forrest. He made his first appearance in this iconic film. And surprisingly, he was only eight years old when he auditioned. And yeah, he killed it.

Though his character lasted for a short time, he made a strong impact. Forrest’s look and how he talks are modeled after Humphreys’. His debut was successful and one of the decade’s greatest films. Interesting. It is either pure luck or just because he is so talented.
