Fascinating Facts About ‘Forrest Gump’
An Uncredited Cameo
Early on in the film, young Forrest is talking to Elvis Presley, unaware that he would go on to become the King of Rock and Roll. When speaking to the young kid, the actor who plays Elvis on screen didn’t actually share the same voice we hear in the final cut.
Kurt Russell has confessed that he actually provided the voice for the Elvis character, despite not appearing on screen. He seemingly did it as a favor and was uncredited for his performance.
