Chet Hanks Says Growing Up With Celebrity Parents Is a Blessing But There's a SHOCKING Thing Behind the Fame
Chet Hanks grew up with celebrity parents Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. The public may perceive him as a lucky person, but he recently revealed in a video the downside of being in the spotlight almost all the time; what did he say about his parents?
In a video titled "The Truth About Growing Up As A Hanks" uploaded in his official YouTube channel, the 31-year-old content creator candidly shared to his subscribers how it is like growing up being surrounded by renowned parents who have been in the Hollywood scene for a long time.
The musician noted he's very "blessed" to have Tom and Rita with him, but there was a "double-edge sword." (watch the full video below)
Chet said there are many "advantages" like traveling the world, staying in luxurious hotels, flying on private planes, and many more.
He said he wouldn't change his situation, but there are times when things can be "pretty weird."
"My experience was even more complicated because on top of fame already being toxic, I wasn't even famous," said Chet. (via NBC Bay Area)
The content creator noted how he was just the "son of somebody famous," so he hasn't done anything to be recognized by the public and stated that it "a lot of contempt."
Growing up, Chet, who changed the spelling of his last name to "Hanx," went to the same campus for preschool until middle school.
However, when he entered high school and college, things turned upside down as the people who surrounded him would "make up their minds" about him before they even met him personally.
"it was extremely hard to break down their walls," he added.
Chet, who faced criticism because of his controversial COVID-19 vaccine remarks, has dealt with many gossips and rumors when he grew up as many people were talking behind his back.
It seems like the actor has changed his perspective from being "self-destructive," filled with "anger," and "partying," to someone who learned that "people's perception of you is only a reflection of themselves."
To conclude his 14-minute video, the musician promised his subscribers that there would be more stories about his personal life. He will be giving the "whole truth" about his experience in Hollywood.
At the time of this writing, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have not publicly commented on their son's latest video.
