Chet Hanks recalled his past cocaine use during an appearance on the Raw Talk podcast in early June. The rapper «White Boy Summer», - whose father is Tom Hanks, openly talked about his past drug use and explained why he decided to quit. Although he stated that he no longer uses cocaine, 33-year-old Chet explained that when he did, others advised him to moderate.
Chet explained that although he no longer uses cocaine, there was a period when he used it so much that he compared himself to Tony Montana from «Scarface». «I'm a damn addict, no sugarcoating», - he said, calling it his «drug of choice», - according to Page Six.
The son of the actor «Big» admitted that he often hung out with others known for their drug use. «You know this guy is a junkie, but you want to get a little high. And you say, 'Okay, fine,'» he said. «I did cocaine with junkies, and they told me, 'Hey, calm down, bro… Wait 15 minutes.'»
Now Chet has stopped using drugs and explained how he realized it was harmful and unhealthy, especially for the heart. «It's terrible. It eats you up. You just, like, disappear because you can’t eat, you can’t sleep», - he explained on the podcast.
In the past, Chet was very open about his drug use and past struggles with addiction. In 2015, he admitted to selling cocaine and often using it in videos on Instagram, according to Us Weekly. He also shared that the birth of his daughter Michaiah inspired him to sobriety in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2018. «There's a part of you that understands that something needs to change, but you can’t just close the door on your life and move on to a new chapter», - he said at the time. «For me, it took something radical, like becoming a father, to take that step»
