“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.

You forgot “aspiring rapper”.
Really, he was trying to make a career out of that a few years ago.
