Tom Hanks son, Chet, has finally opened up about his struggle with drug addiction by posting a series of videos where he reveals that he is recovering from his cocaine consuming habit.

In several Instagram videos, the 25-year-old actor, who was in rehab for cocaine addiction, said the pressure of being famous Tom's son was one of the reasons that turned him to drugs, News.com.au reports.

The 'Bratz: The Movie' actor added "I've been in rehab. I've been trying to get my sh*t together, and I'm doing pretty damn good."

The young actor also revealed that he sold drugs and snorted cocaine so often that his nose got clogged.

 

Encouraging others struggling with this abuse, Chet ended the video series on a positive note, saying that if he could change for the better, then anyone else could as well.
