Hanks starred as the lead and title character in the 1994 historical drama, which won six Oscars. Wright portrayed Jenny, Forrest’s childhood friend whom he marries by the end of the movie.

In Here, the film follows one couple throughout different periods of their lives together and is based on the graphic novel by Richard McGuire.
