I saw Tom Hanks at Best Buy! He was standing right in front of me in the checkout line with a full cart, completely by himself. I was only buying a bottle of water because they didn’t have what I was looking for.
Suddenly, without thinking, I blurted out, “Forrest Gump is my favorite movie!” I probably sounded a little awkward, but he turned around, smiled, and said, “That was my favorite movie to make! I’m glad you love it.”
We ended up chatting about movies while we waited in line. When it was his turn to check out, he looked at me and said, “Oh, let me get that water for you,” and he paid for it.
He kept the conversation going, and when we walked out of the store together, he said, “Nice talking to you! You’re a very nice young lady. And always remember… life is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get,” in his classic Forrest Gump voice.
It was honestly the best experience ever!
