The father is Hollywood’s perfect guy – Tom Hanks – who is all about Mr. Rogers until Walt Disney played.
The boy is a tattooed rapper who declared in an Instagram video that 2021 will be ‘white boy summer’.
Meet Chester Marlon Hanks, 30, or Chet, the first son of Tom and Rita Wilson, who did his best to break some of his family’s clean reputation – with accusations of domestic violence, a bloody head wound and a setback for cultural appropriation.
The black sheep of the Hanks tribe first erupted on the scene in 2011 as rapper “Chet Haze.” While studying theater at Northwestern, he released the song “White and Purple” – a remix of Wiz Khalifa’s hit, “Black and Yellow”, which refers to the colors of his school. The general reception was a joint headache.

In 2014, he was admitted to rehabilitation due to cocaine addiction and said he had struggled with drug abuse from an early age. In 2016, his then-girlfriend Tiffany Miles gave birth to daughter Michaiah.

He later played a small role in Showtime’s “Shameless” and in 2018 played a rapper in “Empire”.
But he’s still best known for his bizarre social media posts – and a big tattoo on his chest that declares ‘I am who I am’.
In January 2020, he posted a viral video of himself speaking in a Jamaican accent while attending the Golden Globes, where his father accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.
His recent version of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hot Girl Summer” confused even more people.
“I just got the feeling this summer that I’m a white boy,” he said in an Instagram video. “Take it as you please.”
“I’m not talking about Trump, white of the NASCAR type,” he continued, “but I’m talking, I know, [R&B artist] Jon B, [rapper] Jack Harlow-type white boy summer. Let me know if you can agree and get ready, because I am. ‘
Then a video appeared of him with a golden head wound after an argument in January with his ex, Kiana Parker. The disturbing footage TMZ received shows him with a throbbing forehead – the result of Parker swinging a pot towards him. It started a spate of nasty accusations between the couple.

He accused her of stealing his money and then suing him for assault. She said he was violent against her and obtained a restraint on him.
Fortunately for the general public, the current spate of bad press has not affected Chet’s productivity. Page Six reports “White Boy Summer” was not a music video, but a full-length feature film.
“We’re going to edit it and get to grips with it very quickly,” he told photographers.
Will Tom come to the premiere?
