Chet Hanks’ Dark Past: Losing Nearly 30 Pounds in 3 Days Due to Cocaine Addiction

Chet Hanks, the son of Hollywood legends Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, has bravely shared his struggles with addiction, revealing that he once lost a staggering 27 pounds in just three days during a cocaine-fueled binge.

On a recent episode, Chet, 34, reflected on his dark past, revealing that his addiction had taken a toll on his physical and mental health. “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,” he shared with his housemates. “When I got to Vegas, I weighed 190 pounds. At the end of it, I weighed 163.”

Chet’s addiction had become so severe that he would often go without eating, sleeping, or drinking water for extended periods. He recalled a particular incident where he was warned by fellow addicts to slow down, but he couldn’t resist the drug’s grip. “I would go do coke with the cokeheads, and they would be telling me, like, ‘Yo, chill, bro… Wait a second. Give it like 15 minutes,'” he said, noting that he knew it was “so bad” but still couldn’t stop.

Chet’s drug use had also taken a toll on his relationships and overall well-being. “Here I am, 31 years old, broke, strung out, sucked up, just skinny, just at rock bottom,” he said, recalling the desperation he felt during that time.

However, Chet’s decision to seek help and enter rehab marked a turning point in his life. He has since been open about his struggles, using his platform to raise awareness about the dangers of addiction.
