Nepotism… Nepotism Gump!

Who’s heard of the country duo “Something Out West?”

They recently released their song “You Better Run!”

I’ll be honest, it’s a great tune! It’s got everything it needs, to compete with current trending country songs!

But what separates it from the rest, is the music video!

Movie fans might notice the music video with a guy sitting on the park bench with a box of chocolates, a shrimping boat named “Jenny,” and one of the members in the group needing to Ruuuuuuun… that its copying the 6 time Academy Award winning film, Forrest Gump!

And then halfway through the music video, appearing is none other than the legend, 2-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks aka Forrest Gump himself!!! 

He looks very annoyed, kind of like he’s wasting his time, in the video!

And then… it ends with a smile and a hug between him and one of the members of “Something Out West!” Namely, Chet Hanks! 

Tom is Chet’s dad, and what a way to make a music video stick out! Copy an awesome book turned movie and then, use the mighty Hollywood power of Nepotism, to get your dad aka Forrest Gump himself in the video!  

I almost want to let the nepotism slide on this one! Coz hey, Tom Hanks seems like the kind of guy who would do a cameo like this regardless of his son being in the group!
