Are we sure that the son is his?

He isn't retarded and we know what a user Jenny is of Forrest Chump taking advantage of him whenever she could.
I bet if we ever get a sequel we will see that Forrest meets Michael Jackson and inspires him to write Billy Jean.
"When we were out in California, checking out the home of Mickey Mouse, we ran into this young black fella who invited us, especially my boy, to come to visit him on his ranch in Neverland, even though there were no animals there except for a Chimp. I told him about my girl Jenny, or Jean as I called her sometimes, and how sometimes I wasn't too sure if this was really my son since he is at times smarter than me."

By golly, I suppose you could be right since they are both wearing stripped shirts!
I dunno why I didn't see the resemblance until now.

LOL
Good one GR!
In the sequel Ernie runs away and ends up broke, drunk and destitute on Sesame St. where Burt takes him in and… well, you know the rest.

That's kind of how the terrible source material was. The coincidences were way more ridiculous. Same with Gump & Co., the sequel. He goes to space with a chimp in the first I think. Forrest is more like our Koik here. Much less likable than Tom Hanks.

I was wondering this. Jenny seemed to know she was dying. She might have thought just tell Forrest the kid is his so he would look after him.
A couple of reasons why I think Forrest is the father however, she named her son after him, and I think at some point Forrest would look at his date of birth and roughly work out the period that Jenny was staying with him, unless he was conceived soon after.
