What did Tom Hanks name the soccer ball in the movie Castaway?

Wilson. And if you didn't know that, then you must have been living under a rock for the past 20 years. It's like the most iconic friendship between a man and a volleyball since, well, ever.

What was in the FedEx box Tom Hanks delivers at the end of the movie Castaway?

well he had that football with the grass for hair and the face done by him having a cut hand then he made a face out of his blood. well i think something happened to 'Wilson' (the name he gave the ball, (because it was a Wilson ball funnily enough)) so i think he bought another Wilson ball or something like that, not entirely sure ;-)


Why does Chuck Noland name the volleyball in the movie 'Cast Away'?

In the movie "Castaway"- Chuck Noland names the volleyball Wilson because he is loney. He does not have anyone to laugh with or talk to. So calling it a human name keeps him from feeling lonley. When he loses Wilson- he is heart broken. To keep his mind in touch with everything (like what he holds dear to him)- mainly his human sanity- he names the ball and treats the ball as a person. He talks to the ball, shares his day with the ball- but to him, it is a person. That is his last grasp on his sanity. Basically he is trying to stop himself from going mad and when he loses the volleyball- he realises that he has possibly lost the only link back to his human side.


Did Tom Hanks really play table tennis in Forrest Gump?

Yes and no. Hanks did make the basic ping pong moves, but in the scenes where he demonstrated exceptional ping pong abilities, the body movements were his but the ping pong ball was added later with the aid of CGI (computer-generated imagery.)
