Chet Hanks Reveals the TRUTH About Life as Tom Hanks' Son | E! News

[melanie]

I hate when they say “EVERYBODY wants to be famous” believe it or not some of us love and are very grateful for the wonderful lives we have, without fame, and I’ve watched enough documentaries and have read lots of autobiographies to understand that wealth and fame does not equal peace and happiness, lots of misery and loneliness is often apparent and the root of all evil has been proven to be factual in many cases, so what’s the point? I have everything I want and need, …peace of mind and contentment is priceless, and I wish this for everyone

When I think about Tom Hanks I think about Isaac kappy

[cynthiajoy]

Dude, no one would even know he’s your dad if you didn’t put it in full blast announcing it to the world like you do. 🙄🙄🙄

[ginolorenzo]

the truth Is go wake-up as a blue collar worker and really feel what life Is

[zodiacstorm]

it must be hard being a black man trapped in a white body....

How did people at college know he was the son of Tom Hanks? Did he go around telling everyone? I went to NYU and it was a bunch of students with famous parents and no one really cared. Most of the celeb children don't say anything especially the humble ones. They just want to make genuine connections and graduate.

[arthuriancelts.]

I think he has the potential to be a brilliant actor, if he just immersed himself into the training. He would be as good, if not better in movie's than his Dad. He has so much potential and all the connections. He needs to get into movie's, I can see a character actor coming of age. Keep strong brother, crush the world, do not let it crush you.

[nicholasgarrick]

That all makes sense it's good you're able to recognize it, and talk about it now. Keep doing you man you're an interesting, and inspiring dude.

If I were a celebrity kid, I would not do anything in the entertainment industry, there is no way for him to compete with or live up to Tom hanks, so why even try?

He could go into literally any field -- I am sure he has a trust fund to live off, which means he can literally do whatever, regardless of how it pays!! That's a privilege and I'd take it. And there are so many interesting jobs not in the entertainment industry -- u could be an investigative journalist, a teacher, or even open an animal shelter, and just try to be the best u can be... literally so many things. I would find a way to be happy. And literally the same people that judge him, judge other people whose parents aren't wealthy or famous ...I remember being embraseed bc a lot of my friends Dad's had "professional" jobs and my dad worked a blue collar job. Looking back I should've been proud! And i am proud now.

After a certain point, u realize people are always going to find something to judge, u just gotta be happy with who you are at the end of the day, and change your reaction, bc u can't change other people.

It's hard enough to come to conclusions on your own about your upbringing. Friggin tough stuff. And then to share it with other people. Especially random as strangers. Brave. Dude. Well done. Keep growing.

[lovelevon]

Pretty sad how he shares those thoughts & y’all tear him down at the end for simply having a different opinion than the mainstream

[darlenedeanglis]

This is one woman that could care less how famous people are I look at the condition of their hearts

[ItsFernley]

I remember when did a video about the Isaac Kappy conspiracy with his Tom Hanks haha😊

[AnnieHeart-ob]

Dude..just looks like a good actor to me..just like father.. don't trust either one. Rest in peace Kappy.

[daleryan]

your awesome bro ! just recently came across your vids and was hooked instantly because of your honesty, reality to whats going on and how you dont back down from nothin

[larryhyak]

Both sides of my family grew up around Sacto, Ca and went to Sac College....We all liked Tom and appreciated his career....I believe he raised a fine family and I am glad his son became an adult and did not blame his parents for his

[thesmileyeffect]

When did he stop speaking with an accent? Wasn’t he on Clubhouse last year doing it? Or was he 29 when that happened?

[TheSingingGardener]

Awe poor guy. Must be hard having to live the luxurious life he lived and still lives. I mean, look at that dumpy view of the city behind him from his penthouse his famous parents probably pays for. Thoughts and prayers to this dude.

[thetruthhurts]

All I hear is someone who resents his parents success and stardom. His parents shouldn't be punished for his insecurities.... grow up, stop using it as an excuse and build your own path in life.

[joshcahanin]

Must be tough growing up in the slums of Kingston.
