Chet Hanks said his life shifted after rehab when he stopped trying to control everything, trusted God and focused on simple daily gratitude instead of stalled career prospects.
The 35-year-old told Joel Madden that opportunities began returning only after he let go of constant hustling, saying peace came when he surrendered stress rather than chasing every outcome.
Hanks tied his addiction to a desire to escape control and said growing up as Tom Hanks' son left him hyperaware, pressured to exceed expectations and burdened by feelings of worthlessness.
Now based in a Nashville trailer park, he said that stripped-down life gives him the freedom he long sought as he pursues country music with Something Out West, launched in 2025.
