20 Things You Somehow Missed In Forrest Gump
8. Forrest Never Blinks While Playing Ping-Pong
Forrest might blink all the damn time when he's getting his picture taken, but apparently he has quite the measure of control where ping-pong is concerned.
Watch Tom Hanks throughout any of the ping-pong scenes and you won't see him blink once. The reason for this? When a fellow soldier introduces him to ping-pong at the Army hospital, he tells Forrest, "The secret to this game is, no matter what happens, never ever take your eye off the ball."
And gee, Forrest really takes that advice to heart, not even taking a nanosecond to blink and miss screwing up a rally.
