Chet Hanks, son of Tom Hanks, participated in a podcast and opened up about his struggle with drugs, revealing that he was very addicted to cocaine.
“The drug I had the most trouble with was just cocaine, man,” said the 33-year-old actor on the podcast Raw Talk, by fitness influencer Bradley Martyn. “I’m a cocaine addict. Not anymore, but that was my drug of choice.”
During the chat, Chet recalled going to clubs and meeting “known junkies” in the bathroom. “You’re like, ‘I know this guy is a junkie, but I want some cocaine.’ Like: ‘OK, fine’,” he recounted.
According to him, even the junkies themselves told him he needed to slow down a bit. “I would use cocaine with the junkies, and they would tell me like: ‘Hey, calm down, man. Wait a second. Wait 15 minutes’,” the actor revealed.
Chet, who is now free from addiction, admitted that he realizes how using drugs is “really bad” not only for his heart but also for his “soul”. “It’s terrible. It [eats away at] you. You just wither away because you can’t eat, you can’t sleep.”
In addition to Chet, Tom is also the father of Truman, 28, with his wife, actress and singer Rita Wilson. The 67-year-old actor is also the father of Colin, 46, and Elizabeth, 42, both of whom he had with his ex-wife, actress Samantha Lewes.
