Tom Hanks’ Son Opens Up on Drug Addiction and Rehab Stint
“I’ve been in rehab”.
“A couple months ago, I was selling coke, doing coke until I couldn’t even snort it up my nose, it was so clogged”, he explained. “I even smoked crack”, he opened up.
Chet has an older half-brother, actor Colin Hanks, and sister, writer Elizabeth Ann Hanks, from his father’s marriage to first wife Samantha Lewes, as well as a younger brother, Truman Hanks.
I’m pretty sure I understood “the point he was trying to make” and still thought he was a dumbass, but at least he knows it’s not his place to speak on it?
Having taken the time to get sober, Chet is now offering advice to any of his followers who might also find themselves on a downward spiral. “If I can change, you can change, there is a solution”.
The Oscar winner’s son responded to criticism about his liberal use of the racial slur, insisting the term transcends race and is used to express “camaraderie and love” in the hip-hop community. “I will try and get back to as many people as I can”.
“It’s been a long journey discovering who I am”, Chet continued.
Chester “Chet” Hanks, 25, who admitted past year he’s been battling substance abuse since he was 16, has revealed he’s been hooked on the recreational Class A drug and checked into rehab earlier this summer in order to beat his demons.
Tom Hanks’ son wants you to know that he’s sorry for using the n-word, but that’s not all. Saying that “there’s nothing glorious about bringing yourself closer to death and prison”, the 25-year-old man urged others struggling with similar issues to seek help like he did, “If you’re struggling with this sh*t take yourself to a meeting, you know?”
