In an appearance on the [_Graham Norton_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%5FTYRa6vxxb0) show, Hanks treated the audience and Olympic distance runner Mo Farah to a rendition of Gump’s quip about his newfound love for running. The actor said he still gets asked about the decades-old character, but admitted he needed a little bit of help recalling the lines. Regardless of the addition of the cue cards, his fellow guests on Norton’s show got a major kick out of Tom Hanks channeling Forrest Gump.
