  1. > “What I’ve learned along the way is that family, whether it’s blood or found, do make you feel shy and embarrassed when you’re not doing the right things and the most proud when you are,” she said.

    > Chet shared his own experience and praised his parents for supporting him “through thick and thin.”

    > “I don’t take it for granted. I’m really, really grateful for both my parents. I’m at the age where I’m just really grateful for them,” he said. “I really cherish the time that I have spent with them.”

  7. I’ll always laugh at Chet revealing that Tom Hanks asked him for a TLDR of Kendrick/Drake beef

  9. I want to like him. Maybe this is the start of that.

  10. Yes drug and alcohol free finally at 34. One has to wonder what kind of upbringing and parental care led him to alcohol and drug abuse for two decades.

  12. Blood is thicker than water. Throughout my life, I have made many baffling and stupid decisions that put my parents in bad positions, yet they have always supported me and helped me through it. They didn’t have to, but they did. I’ll always be thankful and love them for that.

  13. I thought he only had one son. Who the fuck is Chet? Good for him though.

  14. Is this the son who had the bizarre fake Jamaican accent for some reason?

  15. You mean Tom Hanks is a good parent? Totally not shocked.

  18. Met him on a flight he was really kind and talked to me for awhile. He watched Office Space

  19. Dude your dad played Mr Rogers and nobody had anything bad to say about that. I’m not surprised by this story at all.

  20. Seeing Chet on the Adam Friedland show changed my mind about him. He seems like a good person underneath it all.

  21. Wasn’t he a Covid denier/anti-vax guy during the pandemic?

  22. Check out the piece Channel 5 with Andrew Callahan did with him.

  23. That’s what you get when you call your son « Chet ». You call him Chet – you get Chet. Not Colin or Truman or Elizabeth, LOL 🙂

  25. Not saying it was easy for him to do, but having Tom hanks voice narrate you out of anything has to slightly increase the chances of success.

  26. He’s a great artist. I remember when he said “I’ll hit you with a ski pole on your pee hole”.

  28. I don’t think Tom realizes that’s not actually his son. They need a DNA test. That must be one of the staff’s kids.

    Edit: or maybe he’s adopted… I have no clue and am too uninterested to search

  29. Remember when he was pretending to be Jamaican for a bit, that was fun

  31. They even stuck with him through White Boy Summer

  32. Every time I see a story about Chet hanks I only hear Dan Soder doing an impression of him #cracklecrackle

  34. IS HE SMART OR IS HE LIKE (Tom Hanks points at himself)

    Chet Hanks: …….
