Lyndon Abioye |

Chet Hanks is speaking on a past drug binge where he claims he lost 30 pounds in just three days.

“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 said on The Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets.

Chet, who is the son of Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks, went into detail about the binge.

“When I got to Vegas, I weighed 190 pounds. At the end of it, I weighed 163,” he said. “I lost 27 pounds in three days, so my disease is gnarly. It’s not pretty.”

He continued, “I went straight from Vegas and checked myself into rehab, again. Here I am, 31 years old, broke, strung out, sucked up, just skinny—just at rock bottom. And 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 so bad is going to happen that my life might as well be over.”

The artist is celebrating two years of sobriety.

Chester Marlon Hanks is an American actor and musician. The son of actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, he has had recurring roles on television series Empire, Shameless and Your Honor, as well as guest roles on Curb Your Enthusiasm and Atlanta.
