Chet Hanks took the stage at Stagecoach this past weekend, and he had a very special fan in the audience—his dad, Tom Hanks. Dressed in a fedora and sunglasses, Tom wasn’t just blending into the background. He was living his best singer-songwriter life, belting out the lyrics to Chet’s catchy tune“You Better Run.”It’s apparently a family affair, given that the song’s music video features a charming cameo from Tom as his iconic character, Forrest Gump.
As fans snapped photos and cheered, it was clear that Tom is embracing his role as the supportive dad who’s proud of his son’s musical journey. The moment was a reminder that even Hollywood A-listers can let loose and enjoy a little fun at a music festival. With acts like Post Malone set to headline later in the festival, it sounds like there’s even more excitement to come. Who would’ve thought that the son of the beloved actor would make waves in the country music scene alongside his legendary dad?
