Inside Tom Hanks’ Troubled Relationship With Son Chet: ‘Tom Never Stopped Trying to Help’
Tom Hanks is ‘very proud’ of troubled son Chet Hanks for ‘taking control of his life’ after battling drug addiction, an insider exclusively tells Closer.
The Forrest Gump star has said he’s tried his best as a father, telling The New York Times, “Somewhere along the line, I figured out, the only thing really, I think, eventually a parent can do is say, ‘I love you, there’s nothing you can do wrong, you cannot hurt my feelings, I hope you will forgive me on occasion, and what do you need me to do?” “I don’t blame them,” he said, adding, “They were misled as well, and they were manipulated by these [troubled teen] industries … that are just now starting to be exposed almost 20 years later.” An insider exclusively tells Closer Tom was heartbroken to learn of the abusive conditions. “It didn’t make me want to be a good boy,” he admitted, saying cocaine was his “drug of choice.” After entering rehab in 2015, he welcomed daughter Michaiah in 2016 (her mom is ex Tiffany Miles) and credits her for his current sobriety.
