So did John Lennon, B.J. Clinton, the Kenyan, Terrell Owens, Justin Bieber, and all sorts of others. Those mentioned here all had talent and channeled it in ways that are not conducive to what we stand for. Subtract the idiots who had 2 parents and still screwed up and it’s not even. More girlie men out there. Most guys with a father eventually get it.

I think that’s reason to cut him out of the will.

I don’t think he’s any better now than before from the article. He’s still an arrogant brat. He’s the kind of kid we would ignore and keep at arms length because we just didn’t want to hear his arrogant BS, until he got in someone’s face and went too far, then he got smacked hard and daddies money didn’t save him.

That being said I grew up around some kids who were well to do and they fit right in with the rest of us because they were not pretentious and didn’t flaunt their status.

Male predators seek out young boys in search of an adult male role model, and they are sexually lassoed into a perverted lifestyle.

Sounds like Hanks raised a head case, Hey, bro, sometimes folks don’t like someone, not because they’re jealous, but because he’s an assh**le; The girlfriend you beat up probably thinks the latter, Deal with it

“Chet sounds like a complete jerk.”

You’re right. from the article, the rest of that statement is telling as to his personal opinions and obvious problems:

“Actor Tom Hanks’ son Chet Hanks says he didn’t have a ‘strong male role model’ while he was growing up, and that when he was a kid, he ‘needed’ someone to tell him that his peers were being rude to him because they were ‘jealous.’”

Jealous? Of what?

In 2015, Hanks was wanted by British police after damaging a hotel room, incurring $1800 in damages. He entered rehab for cocaine addiction that year.

A judge in Fort Bend County, Texas granted Hanks’ former girlfriend Kiana Parker a temporary protective order against him in January 2021; in her filing, she described months of verbal and physical abuse.

Okay, a thug, a mindless goon, a recreational drug addict, and a woman beater and abuser. This is something to be jealous of? I don’t agree with Tom Hank’s political thoughts, but I would have to say he is, at least, feeling partially responsible for his son’s stupidity and violence (shouldn’t) and has been patient with him. Parents always look at themselves first when something with a child goes wrong. His dad should have tossed him aside a long time ago. Still should.

A one sided story does not make it true. He sounds like a jerk and is the strangest looking person I’ve seen in a long time. I also disagree with folks airing their dirty laundry for money.

Can understand how a kid who was raised watching “Big” and “Forrest Gump” continuously, growing up in LA did not have a “strong male role model”. Real privilege with lifelong insights came from growing up in NY metropolitan Italian-American families and neighborhoods.

You forgot “aspiring rapper”.

Really, he was trying to make a career out of that a few years ago.

Ron Reagan had the same complaint about being Ronald Reagan’s son.
