Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's son Chet Hanks is opening up about the struggles of growing up within a famous family, admitting he felt "f---ing worthless" as a child.
"My dad's Tom Hanks. Have people brought that up my entire life? Yes. Is it annoying? Nah," he said sarcastically during an early confessional in the premiere episode. "People think that being Tom Hanks' son, like, I would grow up feeling like I was the s---. I actually grew up feeling completely f---ing worthless."

"Some people are really enamored with my family's fame. Some people are really resentful about it," he said later. "From a young age, being very aware of that, was a lot to mentally process."
