Forrest Gump is one of those films that managed to become a cult-classic, while also pleasing the mainstream media, winning the Best Picture at the 1994 Academy Awards.
Not only did it end up being a great success, but it also helped launch the careers of the actors and actresses involved, and seeing where they are 20 years later is a testament to how their careers have blossomed.
The likes of Tom Hanks, Sally Field and Robin Wright have all moved on to big things, so check the “before and after” pictures from the Forrest Gump cast, and head over to TIME for the original post and all the pics.
