The son of Hollywood
power coupleTom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Chester “Chet” Hanks was born into a life of privilege. But
now, RadarOnline.comhas
learned, he and his parents are fight to save him after
he almost threw it all away on a life of drug abuse.
Chet recently admitted to years of substance abuse struggles following a secret
rehab stay, and Radar has all the shocking details.“I’ve been
struggling with substance abuse since I was 16 years old,” he wrote in a
bombshell post on Instagram on November 19. “Finally at the age of 24 I decided
to get some help,” and go to rehab.
“With 50 days of
sobriety under my belt, I can honestly say I’m the happiest I’ve ever been,” he
continued. “I’m thankful for my family and everybody that cares about me,
including my fans. I’ve been blessed with the programs of AA and NA which allow
me to rise above this disease. I’m learning to accept my faults and be ok with
being human. If anybody that sees this struggles with addiction, feel free to
reach out. Thank you all for the love and support! GOD IS REAL!!!”
Chet made no secret of his drug use in
recent years, frequently rapping about weed and
alcohol under the
stage name “Chet Haze.” He insisted, “It’s part of college life; I wanted to
rap about something that I do. But I wouldn’t say that’s what my life is all
about. … I’m not some caricature of a person who just drinks and smokes weed
and parties all the time.”
After graduation though, the party
didn’t stop. According to a new report inStar magazine, he recently turned to harder drugs.
“Chet developed
a problem with cocaine this year,” a source told the magazine. “He was always a
big pot smoker, but I never thought he’d go in this direction, and to the
degree that he had to spend time in rehab in California this fall.”
“Of course, this
was devastating to his dad and mom …” the source said, “but they’ve done
everything they can to help him, and fully supported him in his decision to get
sober.”
