However, the conversation rapidly shifted to the performers recounting their childhood experiences.
He said, “I will tell you about my childhood. People believe that as Tom Hanks' kid, I would grow up feeling like the sh*t, but I actually grew up feeling completely f**king worthless." The musician did not blame his situation on his renowned parents. Instead, his classmates and strangers made things more difficult for him.
While speaking with his co-stars Kim Zolciak Biermann, Josie Canseco, and O.T. Genasis, he said that people treated him like he must believe he’s better than anyone when he didn't. Hanks stated that he just wanted to be friends with everyone and be treated like everyone else.
