Tom Hanks Stars in Son's Forrest Gump-Inspired Music Video

Tom Hanks revisits the world of Forrest Gump in a new music video for his son's band. Chet Hanks (you may remember him for his controversial views on the n-word, his apparently accidental white supremacist anthem, or, perhaps, his anti-vaccine views) is now a member of country music duo Something Out West, and the band's new single "You Better Run" features quite a lot of running—as does, of course, Forrest Gump. The music video features several scenes inspired by the iconic Tom Hanks movie, as well as many shots of Chet Hanks, apparently in the role of Forrest, sitting on a park bench with various other people, sometimes with a box of chocolates. About halfway through the video, one of those other people turns out to be none other than the original Forrest Gump himself.

The band formed when Chet Hanks and Drew Arthur became roommates at a time when both were working toward sobriety, CNN reports. In February, they signed with Nashville-based label Big Machine Records, which also boasts such acts as Rascal Flatts and Tim McGraw, Variety reports. A full album is expected to be released this year. As for the new music video, Hanks' mom, Rita Wilson, made her love for it clear with a series of fire emojis posted as comments when her son shared it on Instagram, ABC News reports.
