Chet Hanks Reveals He Lost 27 Pounds During ‘3-Day Coke Binge’ Before Getting Sober
Chet Hanks is getting real about his previous drug addiction.
The 34-year-old rapper and son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson opened up about his struggle with drugs on the latest episode of MTV’s Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets.
During the episode, he shared that he was celebrating two years of sobriety and detailed the darkest days of his addiction. He pulled out an app that tracked his progress and said,
“This is my sobriety anniversary. Two years ago today, I was coming off a three-day coke binge where I didn’t eat, sleep or barely drink any water for three days straight.”
Chet Hanks, 34, added,
“I lost 27 lbs in three days, so my disease is gnarly. It’s not pretty. I went straight from Vegas, checked myself into rehab—again.”
He reflected on his breaking point and said,
“Here I am, 31 years old, broke, strung out, sucked up, just skinny, just at rock bottom. I just knew, man, if I don’t change my life in a drastic way, either I’m not even going to be around or something bad, so bad, is going to happen that my life might as well be over—cause that’s where I was headed.”
Now, Chet Hanks is happily having the “time of his f–king life,” as he added,
“Life is good. God is great. That’s all I gotta say.”
This isn’t the first time Chet Hanks opened up about his addiction. Last month, he said during an interview,
“The drug I had the most problem with was just f***king coke, dude…I’m a f***king cokehead, straight-up…Not anymore, but that is my drug of choice — cocaine, bro, like Tony Montana [Al Pacino’s character in ‘Scarface’].”
It looks like Chet Hanks is turning his life around.
Let’s send him some love in the comments!
