Tom Hanks' Son Chet Reveals Daughter Made Him Get Sober

'She’s something that I love.'

Tom Hanks‘ troubled son Chet Hanks appears to be turning his life around. The former addict posted a video on Instagram confessing he has a daughter, which he’s kept secret and she’s the one who inspired his sober transformation.

“I want to share something today because it’s about to be shared anyway in the press, which is the fact that I have a daughter,” he revealed. “I do have a daughter, she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me, she’s the reason why I turned my life around and got sober. I’ve been sober for over a year and a half from everything.”

Chet added, “It hasn’t been easy making all my mistakes in public but I’m figuring it out. I’m doing the best that I can.”
