I still can't get passed the fact that he looks absolutely nothing like his father. He could've easily blended into "regular" society without anyone suspecting he was the son of a very famous actor

[@bubaba8938]

He looks better than Tom..Tom Hanks always looked like a nerd and never had sex symbol status like Brad,Banderas,Clooney etc.This guy with good acting can play a Jason Statham type actor

[@princeoftrap]

i can see the resemblance

[@MMAfighter38113]

I’ve always thought the same. His bother looks more like Tom. If I didn’t know better, I’d say Chet was adopted even though he wasn’t

[@LordDirus007]

Takes after his Mom.

[@tooruoikawa8985]

This is actually an interview I didn’t think I’d ever want but definitely interesting

[@TheAustrianPainter87]

He's high in consciousness. Very self aware

[@tanbir11]

very honest and reponsible answer, he owns his mistakes and his decisions. doesnt blame his parents and even respects their effort.

[@justinrhule9120]

Chet is a sailor … always navigating the waters of the world

[@sawyerjscott]

😹😹😹he kept saying it

[@Galaboy97]

Captain Chet

[@rhondad4012]

Chet explains this well. It’s another layer under a famous family. He’s a great person with a great heart.

[@shaunmm2k]

Can’t wait to see what Chet pulls out of his hat when he finds his groove. I think he will SHINE ✨

[@healthieryou7206]

Bruce Springsteen said..."money make living easier but it doesn't make life easier"

[@JROJASification]

Anyone else impressed and pleasantly surprised by how high in consciousness he is? And not “oh impressive for the son of an actor” but actually very deep and aware. I didn’t see entitlement, anger, ego, justifying his mistakes with reasonable excuses, none of that BS. Imo just a sense of honesty, peace, clarity, perspective, humility, and a sense of purpose. Thank you Chet for teaching me humility by showing me that I misjudged you.

[@rudolphmcneill515]

Your comment gave me chills. ❤

[@Dhrrhee3e11a76]

This is very much my response too. I've been shocked at how Chet was dealt a totally surreal life and legitimately struggled to find his own identity through it, and he is willing to speak about it openly and honestly. Seems like a genuinely good person, and an admirable one.

[@robertbray2159]

Most sons of successful fathers generally in life feel this way.

[@wlcsp]

I watched several clips already, and didn't know he is Tom Hanks' son.

[@MMAfighter38113]

They look nothing alike.

[@yasirn6455]

His parents were also trying to figure things out just like him.

Really impressed with this guy

[@amburger4963]

I liked his interview

[@kevinburrowes7743]

I love this guy!

[@jamimurrahman9159]

He actually makes a really interesting point to consider here. It is often easy for us humans to look at great people and immediately assume their children are fine but thats not always the case. I. Fact in many cases it's the opposite because the position of greatness and prestige earned to your name is not the same as living in the shadows and side of effects of that greatness and prestige.

[@rudolphmcneill515]

I hear you Chet. Intelligent and profound. ❤

[@GaryGoRound-to7ld]

it would be cool if Chet starred in Bachelor Party 2 ..where his dad plays his dad ..and Tom and Chet Hanks are the proper adults and the wife to be is wild and out of control with her friends

[@KyleKendall71]

I can see this guys situation in any normal family especially with multiple kids. Even if you are not Tom Hanks or Rita Wilson, if you have worked hard and provided for your kids, there is always the situation that they will not identify with you or your choices as easily as you do and thus they may feel different, left out, abnormal and then they need to go somewhere to find out who they are. Don't judge, learn.

[@Humanfeelingsnyc]

Chet Hanks kinda rules

[@faezahazmi]

my first impression is that even though his father is present but his father did not made enough imprint for him to strive more in live.

[@jxstified7558]

I mean I can understand that, if you do anything right its "Oh well ur dad is rich and famous so thats how you got there" and if you do wrong then it reflects poorly on you famous rich dad and on top of it you are famous for no reason other than your dads shadow...gotta be hard for him at times.

[@HallucinationNation]

I was stoked on the pt cruiser lmaooooo

[@lukisnootis5708]

Colin Hanks turned out just fine

[@joereilly8890]

There’s actually a version of the PT Cruiser that’s decently fast, I think they slapped a v8 in it.

[@facelesssman]

[@scorpionformula]

Eloquently said

[@ericafrenk6747]

[@zandersmiranda9256]

I think he has PTSD or bipolar......he totally over analyzed the assumptions of peoples thoughts or thinking and assumed his last name he had to act a certain way when he had no expectations or boundaries. This can drive you crazy what he should have done was to open communication

[@rudolphmcneill515]

Totally disagree, and that's OK.

Tom played in saving private Ryan but honestly I think Chet would play the role of a modern day soldier very well. I just found that to be ironic.

[@SteveMe21685]

Chet...the only person viewing you in the shadows is yourself. You're creating this identity that you feel trapped in. We all do it. Just let go of the story you keep trying to show yourself

[@suezcontours6653]

Even if parents overshadow their children, what can they do??? It’s our society and culture that bestows such largesse, it’s rare and unplanned. There’s nothing one can do , but lessen the impact, privately.😢🤨🙃

[@peteg7446]

Why didn't Pat ask about Tom going to epstein island??

[@lambsaucehunter9316]

Or about Isaac Kappy lol

[@itsjustme8554]

What about Chris Tucker and Naomi Campbell? Tucker was on a list connected to that guy and Campbell has photos showing her talking to Epstein or standing within a few feet. Am I the only one that notices people who talk about Hanks possibly being connected to that person, for whatever reason... won't bring up other celebrities who are clearly connected?

ya you didn’t listen to this interview. You went cheap and watched a few seconds and the title. I thought the same thing but then watched it. Very honest interview

[@iphang-ishordavid2954]

🙄🙄🙄the sarcasm didn't work. He clearly owned up to everything

[@DjLuckyCat]

I feel like a lot of the interviews and media where we're seen him being portrayed as this "dumb, douchey, racist" guy isn't totally fair. People are quick to defend pop stars like Britney Spears or Amanda Bynes when they had mental health struggles in the public eye. Everyone rallies saying "free Britney" but I don't see a lot of support for men out there, especially ones like Chet. He may have made mistakes, he may have been culturally insensitive or racist but who is completely innocent? Here he is being totally honest about his experiences, his shitty first car (sorry I dislike PT Cruisers) and his family holding their shadows unintentionally over his head.

[@user-zc3wh4tz5t]

I love how he talk like he’s worked hard and struggled his whole life. Like congrats on getting out of Beverly Hills!! lol 🍾 🍾

[@jasonstimson6617]

Man this dude is a beast. Looks like he spent 20 years locked up 😂

[@brewcity2317]

Very insightful young man. God bless him. He is a billion times superior in intellect and empathy than 99% of the Black-Americans and biracials in my inner-city black neighborhood. Material capitalist and material Marxist, pieces of sh%t they are, arrive at the same point, frozen cold hearts they have and that is in 100% opposition to this young man. I will just tell you this, I was reared up in the neighborhood the Milwaukee riots occured over a police shooting. Several years before then I was shot in that same neighborhood by a white Milwaukee cop. The cop was in the right though, and I was overly intoxicated. Hell... I'm drinking now. A male and the size of a girl on the freshman high school football team, an adult in the Marine Corps during Desert Storm in a racially divided unit and harrased by a black NCO who was a member of the Nation of Islam (me mulatto), post Marine Corps start using crack via an uncle already addicted before me, exactly how was my life "walk on water" as materialist claim? Listen hear you low IQ pieces of sh%t I hope the Russians hand you your a$$ to. King and queens circa 700 AD ate with their hands, had no hand guns, no electricity, no f_ckin public schools, no flushing toilets, no cars or public buses, no smart phones, and no damned rap videos to bounce around talking about how "poor" they are. From Brazil to Bostwana Africa to "ghettos" of America every poor person is a multibillionaire compared to France circa 700 AD. That includes Ukraine right f*ckin now which is a 700 AD billionaires paradise. Heaven on Earth would be civil war in the USA and me given the authority by figures above me to put down BLM and white leftist and white material capitalist on the political right, Napoleon style. That would be heaven.

[@suezcontours6653]

Why bring blacks into this? Chet is a privileged white man that comes from wealth. Where does the comparison come from? HE made his own mistakes while coming from a life of luxury and access

[@brewcity2317]

@@suezcontours6653, #1 I've only seen this clip of Chet. Not the whole interview of his on Valuetainment. #2 Anyone on planet Earth outside the f*ckin toiletless, 99% naked, blow dart blowing Amazonian Ameindian jungle is... "privileged." I don't give a f__ck if he drove a brand new Mercedes to school and banged every hottest chick on the high school cheerleading team. As Christ said 2,000 years ago, so it stands today as it does now, man cannot live by bread alone. Meaning material (everything made of atoms, everything consisting of the Periodic Table, contra the spiritual or e.g. emotional, thoughts) things, material bodies, are not the end all be all. I was born in 1971 and though born into poverty most my childhood was reared in the Black-American Middle-class (Sherman Park neighborhood of Milwaukee, but post 1980s steadily falling in socio-economic bracket). According to you material Marxist (left) ans material Capitalist (right) I was raised in Heaven on Earth. Number 1 because I had 2 parents (yelling, things sent flying, choking my mother off her feet was common--my father was a black Federal law enforcemant agent). Oh well... I don't want to explain my life story, I don't want your pity, I don't want to be understood. But as numerous Black-American women (on welfare!) told me in my 20s during and not long after my Marine Corps service simply for speaking kindly to them, "I hate you!" Know this, today aged 51, I hate you mutha f$vkas from sun up to sun down. So much hatred I don't want to leave, I want to massacre you pieces of sh$t and take your land the way you people (white or Buffalo Soldiers) the Amerindians. I hope the Russians r:pe you all (white, brown, or black) with bayonets. Every Black-American in the USA--or in modern Africa--by material/modern tech standards is privileged. So are those Nazi loving Ukrainians ALL THEIR spoiled brats that FLED across the border to Poland. What did my mulatto biological brother (sibling) tell me, as a public school teacher in Milwaukee who failed to become a liberal Hollywood movie producer as he thought he would, "You could have became rich..." had I sought financial advice from the inner-city 13 year-olds on 35th and Center street in Milwaukee. Because you know (and he is 100% Democrat, a Material Marxist)... that's where most 20ish year-old whites on Wall Street were groomed for financial success: as inquisitive 13 year-olds on 35th and Center or 35th and Keefe asking other 13 year-old black kids there, "what's the secrets to financial wealth." God I hate you people. Lowest form of scum on Earth. Black-Americans and the KKK are cut from the same cloth.

[@itsjustme8554]

I don't like rap but did listen to one of his "rap songs" from when he was in college (he went to Northwestern in Texas I believe) and his lyrics involved "ski pole in the peep hole" for example. The assumption with skiing is that people who ski are usually at least upper middle class if not very well off and wealthy so his "songs" were never him pretending to be broke from some gangster infested city

He's on some list connected to Epstein, and what about that famous runway model Naomi Campbell?? She's in real photos with him and it clearly shows that she was speaking to him in some or all of these pictures. Be honest.. is it simply because they're both happen to be Black that they've never been harassed or at least called out like people seem to do with Tom Hanks? It seems pretty obvious.
