Even Weird Al has had thatā¢ experience with Tony Hawk
Tony Hawk IS Forrest Gump
So I looked up why and how this happened, and it turns out Weird Al hired a company called Birdhouse Skateboards to provide some āskate/punkā extras for the video. Birdhouse Skateboards is a company started by Tony Hawk, so not only did Weird Al end up putting Tony Hawk in his video without realizing it, he actually hired Tony Hawkās company without realizing it! And then Tony Hawk just decided to go along as one of the extras himself.
BTW, heād already won like 40 contests already, some of them international skateboarding contests. So itās not like Weird Al cast some unknown skateboarder who ended up becoming World Famous Skateboarder, he was already well known and was running his own Skateboarding company.
