Chet Hanks Thanks Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson for Putting Up With His Shenanigans

Buy Me A Coffee

Chet Hanks is raising a metaphorical glass (of sparkling water, calm down) to his legendary parents, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, for sticking by him through his sobriety journeyโ€”even when he was, letโ€™s say, a handful.

The 34-year-old actor strutted onto The Drew Barrymore Show on Tuesday (March 18), announcing that he has been sober for over three years. And guess what? His parents didnโ€™t just sit back with popcorn and watchโ€”no, they were there, supporting him through thick and thin, much like a classic Tom Hanks movie where everyone cries in the end.

Drew Barrymore, the queen of wholesome chaos, chimed in with her own wisdom:

“What Iโ€™ve learned along the way is that family, whether itโ€™s blood or found, makes you feel super awkward when youโ€™re being a mess, and then suddenly turns into your biggest hype squad when youโ€™re thriving.”

Chet, nodding like a man whoโ€™s seen some things, responded with the energy of someone whoโ€™s just discovered how much his parents actually love him:

“When youโ€™re doing the right thing, your family goes from side-eyeing you at Thanksgiving to clapping like proud sports parents on the sidelines. I donโ€™t take that for granted. Iโ€™m at that age where I just randomly get emotional about my parents, you know? Like, wow, theyโ€™re actually pretty awesome.”

Chet is currently lighting up screens as Travis Bugg in Netflixโ€™s Running Point, which, according to him, has officially been approved by the โ€œHanks Parental Review Board.โ€ Yes, Tom and Rita have reportedly binged the showโ€”most likely with snacks, cozy blankets, and dad jokes from Tom.

And that is how you win in life: Get sober, make your parents proud, and have America’s Dad watching your show on Netflix. Bravo, Chet. Bravo.
