Sometimes people do odd things for no real reason. Sometimes they do odd things simply because other people find it curious, funny, and entertaining. In a world where BIG and serious things are happening every day, where the onslaught of current events can feel overwhelming, we’re all grateful for the little slice-of-life stories that offer moments of levity. This is one of those stories.
Something as small and simple as a man dressed as an iconic movie character is spreading cheer and excitement throughout this entire community. You can hear people laughing and happily shouting out, “Run, Forrest! Run!” in the background. Maybe that’s why he’s doing it?
Forrest himself says, “There are a lot of bad things going on in the world today, and it’s nice to take a little break from it.” That’s right, this man is donning a bushy fake beard for his daily jogs for the sole purpose of spreading a little happiness around. We’ll take it!
Thanks, Forrest!
