In an eye-opening revelation on Bradley Martyn's Raw Talk podcast, Chet Hanks, son of Hollywood icons Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, gets brutally honest about his struggles with cocaine addiction and the life-changing intervention by his parents.
Chet's story is familiar to so many
Hollywood's golden boy, Chet Hanks, has dropped a bombshell that's got everyone talking! The 33-year-old actor and musician, known for being the son of legendary actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, has come clean about his tumultuous journey with drug addiction, specifically cocaine, and it's nothing short of a blockbuster script!
"I'm a f--king cokehead, straight-up," Chet boldly admitted, shedding light on the darkest corners of his life. His battle with drugs was so intense that he once saw himself as the notorious Tony Montana from Scarface, living a life that revolved around his next hit.
I would go do coke with the cokeheads," he continued, "and they would be telling me, like, ‘Yo, chill, bro. Wait a second. Give it like 15 minutes.'"
Enough is enough
He added, "I couldn't get enough of that."
And when he was 17, his parents—who noticed "such an abrupt change that it was concerning," he said—staged an intervention.
"I wake up in the morning," he explained, "it's 4 o'clock in the morning and there's two huge f--cking dudes standing at the foot of my bed, looking at me. And they go, ‘You're coming with us.'"
But here's the twist! At 17, Chet's life took a dramatic turn when his parents, alarmed by his drastic change, staged an intervention. Imagine waking up at 4 AM to "two huge f--cking dudes" ready to whisk you away to rehab! That's exactly what happened to Chet, marking the beginning of his journey to recovery.
Being the offspring of Hollywood royalty isn't all red carpets and champagne. Chet's candidness sheds light on the pressures and expectations that come with such a lineage. It's a tale of fame, fall, and finding oneself amidst the chaos of celebrity.
Chet's story isn't just about the fall; it's about the climb back up. Now sober, he reflects on his past with a mix of regret and gratitude - regret for the time lost and gratitude for the second chance at life.
