Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's son banned from doing reality shows: Here's why

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s son Chet Hanks has recently revealed his famous parents banned him from starring on reality TV shows.

Speaking with Daily Mail, Chet said, “They definitely have said [no reality TV] in regard to the typical reality shows. When this came up, we discussed it and everybody agreed. We all agreed that this could be a really great opportunity for me and it was perfect.”

“They were really supportive. I was excited and everybody was,” remarked the rapper.

Chet stated, “I had been offered to do a reality show in the past… I've been getting reality TV offers for a long time.”

“I've always said no, because all the shows that have offered me to come on had been all about the drama, fighting, gossiping, you know… just really negative,” pointed out Tom’s son.

Chet continued, “And this is the first reality show… this is the first one that's not that kind of show.”

“It's really more so about personal relationships and getting to show people a different side of you and personal growth and being open and vulnerable,” added the popular offspring.

OK! previously reported that Tom and Rita supported Chet over his drug addiction.

The source told the outlet, “It was hard for the whole family, including Chet’s brothers and sister.”

“Chet's siblings were deeply affected by his addiction. Certainly, it caused resentment at times,” continued an insider.

The source mentioned, “Tom never stopped trying to help Chet.”

“He’s very proud of him for taking control of his life and getting sober and, more importantly, staying sober,” added an insider.
