When you remember Forrest Gump, it’s impossible not to think of Tom Hanks running (and running and running), but you probably do not think specifically about Tom Hanks’s “buttocks” in these crucial scenes.

But guess who does: why, Rita Wilson, Hanks’s wife, of course!

While making an appearance on The Graham Norton Show over the weekend, America’s favourite man remembered his time making the movie: “I had worked out quite a bit. I must say that my buttocks, as Forrest would say, were as firm as tinned hams.”

He continued, “Every now and again, if the (movie) comes on cable, my wife will say ‘Just leave it on, honey. I want to see that one scene where you’re running away from the camera. Look at that fine Hanks ass!’… In the day, even I think it was a beautiful thing to behold.”

Not only did Hanks confirm that he is proud and well aware of his assets, but he also went on to talk about that now infamous viral photo in which even the internet couldn’t deduce whether it was a picture of him or Bill Murray.
