Initially, John Travolta was in the running for the lead role in Forrest Gump. However, he turned down the opportunity to spare Tom Hanks the embarrassment. John Travolta had other commitments: he was very keen on shooting Pulp Fiction. While Travolta has revealed no regrets regarding that sense of foregone victory, he admits that Hanks' finest performance in Forrest Gump bagged him an Academy Award to seal the final legacy of that film.
