RAW TALK
Chet Hanks is opening up about his past drug abuse… admitting he went overboard with cocaine, going so far as to call himself a “cocaine addict.”
Tom Hanks‘ son addressed his problems with cocaine during an appearance on Bradley Martin‘s “Raw Talk” podcast. As he said, cocaine was the drug he had the biggest problem with and compared himself to Al Pacino“Scarface” character, Tony Montana.
Chet recalls that his addiction was so bad that “known cocaine addicts” would tell him he needed to “relax.” He says he even knew who the veteran drug addicts were when he met them at nightclubs, so he would seek them out to buy cocaine.
Chet admits he couldn’t get enough of it back then.
However, Chet’s addiction took a negative toll… as he explained that the drug was very bad for his heart and mental health.
He added… “It’s terrible. It eats away at you. You just waste away because you can’t eat, you can’t sleep.”
This isn’t the first time Chet has spoken out about his struggles with addiction, which he’s been dealing with since he was a teenager. Remember, in 2015, Chet announced that he had gone to rehab for snorting cocaine and smoking crack.
He also admitted to selling the drug at the time.
Chet, who is the father of an 8-year-old girl Micaiahseems to be doing much better lately… and maintains a close relationship with his father and mother, who are top-notch people, Rita Wilson.
He is set to appear in the new season of “The Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets”, where he has already landed quite a stir.
