Possibly the only nice caucasian straight male left in Hollywood, the Forrest Gump star has time and again spread joy in his fans' lives both through his incredible performances on screen and heartwarming random interactions in real life. As the Oscar-winning actor was honored with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Cecil B. DeMille Award for Achievement in Film at the 2020 Golden Globe ceremony, those lucky few who had the good fortune of meeting the celeb in real life, took to Twitter to share their uplifting experiences.
