- Unlike his father, Chet Hanks received backlash for his stance on the pandemic, not only disagreeing with his dad but going back on some his earlier comments.
Alongside Us Magazine, Chet would further reveal that no matter what he did, he would always be known as Tom's son.
“I love my dad, he's a great man, he's a great actor, so I'm in a good position, you know what I mean? If I invented a cure for cancer tomorrow, in the article it would say, 'Tom Hanks' Son Invents The Cure For Cancer,' you know what I mean? It's inevitable.”
