Tom Hanks Supports Son Chet at Stagecoach

0:00It's April 27th, entertainment and celebrity news today starts now, AI-powered and spotlight ready. I'm Cory with the story. Tom Hanks, the two-time Oster winner behind Forest Gump, rolled up to the Stage Coach Festival in Indio, California over the weekend to hype his son, Chets Country Band, Something Out West. The 69-year-old was right there in the Toyota Music Den nodding along and singing their hit track, You Better Run. What makes it extra cool is Tom's cameo in the music video for that song, packed with Forest Gump Easter eggs like a bench scene, a shrimp boat, called Jenny, and Chet holding a box of chocolates while running through the woods. The duo of Chet and bandmate Drew Arthur dropped their debut EP, leaving Hollywood back in June last year, and the family turned out strong. They posted a photo after the set with Tom and Rita Wilson, captioned simply, We Were There Man, while Rita cheered in the comments about the fantastic performance. Meanwhile, Chet just bounced back from a passport mix-up in Columbia last month.

Perform at Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale last week. With Tom and Rita in his corner, Chets carving his path in country music, proving family backing hits, different when you're chasing those big stages.
