"Black Sheep": how Tom Hanks' son became a black sheep in the star family

His father is a Hollywood legend, an Oscar winner and an idol of millions. But Chester Hanks is radically different from the famous parent. The rapper with a violent temper is far from his exemplary family. The young man has repeatedly found himself in the center of scandalous stories and has repeatedly been rehabilitated from drug addiction. Find out what Chet Hanks did from our material.Chester Hanks admits to being a "black sheep" in the star family. He struggled with drug addiction and was treated several times in a rehabilitation center. Now the 29-year-old actor and rapper is completely healthy. He is fond of motorcycles and weapons, posts photos of himself with a naked torso on Instagram, showing tattoos on his body. The musician performs as part of the band Somewhere Out West. The couple has a three-year-old daughter, Mikaya.

The scandalous behavior of a young man has repeatedly become the subject of heated discussions and criticism. In 2015, the actor caused a storm of controversy on Instagram because of his statement that he could use the word "Negro" wherever he wanted.

Chet is far from the traditional acting career to which his parents, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, as well as his older brother Colin, devoted themselves. And his sister Elizabeth became a famous writer. Chester's reckless life made him a real black sheep in the family.

Colin, 42, and Elizabeth, 37, are Tom Hanks' children from his first marriage to Samantha Lewis. Sons Chester and 24-year-old Truman were born from the actor's second wife, Rita Wilson. The Oscar winner says that the older children grew up at a time when he was still unknown to anyone and poor. The younger ones were born when the actor received worldwide recognition, so their childhood was radically different from the older ones.

Chet and Truman grew up in a Hollywood mansion, surrounded by wealth and celebrity friends. They rested in the best corners of the planet and did not deny themselves anything. Nevertheless, while his parents shone on the screen and received Oscars, Chester did not set foot on the acting path until the age of 17, until he played a small role in the comedy "Bratz" (2007).

The young man says that he loves his parents very much and is grateful for the upbringing they gave him.

Despite the fact that Chet played several cameo roles as a teenager in the films "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "Larry Crown", he always dreamed of a career as a rapper. While studying at college in 2011, he received the nickname Chet Hayes. The guy did a cover of White and Purple on the song of Wiz Khalifa Black and Yellow.

At the age of 16, the young man suffered from drug addiction - he used cocaine in large quantities. After graduating from college, he became notorious. In November 2014, Chet confessed to an addiction that lasted 8 years, and underwent a 50-day rehabilitation.

But his friendship with intoxicating substances did not end there. In February 2015, the driver sued Chester's famous parents, claiming that he was "high" when he crashed into his car. However, the guy was not arrested.In July 2015, Chet trashed a hotel room at Gatwick Airport after a violent binge in one of the London clubs. The damage amounted to 1,200 pounds (about 96,000 rubles). The bully tore the TV off the wall and threw it on the floor.

In the same month, Hanks' son uploaded a photo to Instagram, for which he posed with two pistols. The picture caused a negative reaction on the social network, as well as his track Juice, where he uses the word "Negro".

Soon after the scandalous publications on the pages of the Couple in social networks, silence reigned. It was even rumored that he was stolen, but in October 2015, the young man made a frank confession to his subscribers. He said that he was again undergoing rehabilitation from drug addiction, and now he finally feels great.

The rapper started actively working out in the gym and riding motorcycles. Chester appeared in several more films, including supporting roles in the TV series Shameless and Empire, for which he wrote the soundtrack How Ya Luv That.

Parents supported their son during the struggle with addiction, and the appearance of daughter Mikaya in April 2016 changed his life.

The baby was born to Tiffany Miles, the girl of the Couple.In 2018, Chester Hanks finally apologized for using the word "Negro", justifying himself by saying that he was on drugs at the time and wanted to arouse interest in his person in every possible way.

Nevertheless, the young man likes to be the center of attention. He recently posted a photo of a black sheep among whites, captioning "This is what it means to be me."

Unlike Chester Hanks, most of the stars' children are like their parents. They try to follow their example and post joint photos on social networks to emphasize the amazing similarity.
