Tom Hanks' Troubled Son Chet Hanks Admits He Went To Rehab For Cocaine Addiction

Tom Hanks' son Chester "Chet" Hanks is coming clean on his battle with drugs. The 25-year-old posted a series of videos in which he talks about being addicted to cocaine, smoking crack and even dealing drugs.
Taking to his Instagram, the troubled rapper said, "I've been in rehab. I've been trying to get my s**t together and I'm doing pretty damn good."
He added: "A couple months ago I was selling coke [and] doing coke until I couldn't even snort it up my nose anymore because it was so clogged. I even smoked crack." Wow! Hearing the son of America's most beloved film star publicly admitting he smoked crack is pretty jarring.
In addition to this video, Chet posted 10 more confessional videos chronicling his struggles. In another vid, he also explained that some of his behavior was rooted in being in the public eye. "It's been a long journey discovering who I am because all the pressures that I've dealt with in my life -- you know, being the son of my dad and everything."
Chet's big admission comes three months after an incident in which he reportedly smashed up a four-star hotel outside of London.
We think it's great that Chet's sobered up, found a higher power and is trudging the road of happy destiny, but maybe he forgot the "Anonymous" part of Alcoholics Anonymous, which stresses keeping your anonymity at the level of press, radio, film and TV? Instagram counts!
