Tom Hanks' Son Is A Failed Rapper Who Loves The N-Word

Being Tom Hanks' son automatically puts you on the whiteness scale alongside microbrewing, suspenders, and New Balance sneakers. But while Colin Hanks embraces this by directing documentaries about Tower Records and starring in CBS sitcoms, Hanks' other son, Chester, is the blackface sheep of the family.

Rapper Chester Hanks, aka "Chet Haze," often acts like an OG thug on social media, posing with guns and starting beefs with other prominent hip-hop artists like ... Howard Stern? In 2015, Bad Hanks threatened the shock jock on several occasions, tweeting about how he was going to whoop Stern's sexagenarian ass, adding "I AM A WALKING PR DISASTER!"

And of course, Chester loves to say the N-word. A lot. In his lyrics, on Twitter ... he probably says it when he's making himself a sandwich. When confronted, he has clapped back by asserting, "I do say the n word in real life amongst my black friends," which might be the whitest thing anyone has ever said without spluttering it through a mouthful of oysters at the raw bar of the local yacht club. Chester continued by qualifying that he has "no disrespect to the struggle of black ppl during the civil rights movement but it's 2015 now" -- which, as we all remember, was the year zombie Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. rose from the grave and declared that white people could now say the N-word as much as they like.

Since then, Chester has turned a corner, by which we mean his rap career has hit a dead end. Having reflected, he now feels bad for his behavior and blames it on his prodigious drug use. He attributes his recent sobriety to his parents, who were there for him "every step of the way." So at least he did one thing right with his life: He made Tom Hanks look even better.

Barack Obama's Half-Brother Is A Right-Wing Troll

For most of their lives, Malik and Barack Obama were as close as transcontinental half-brothers could be, even acting as best men at each other's weddings (one of Malik's 12 weddings, anyway). But when Barack became president of the United States, Malik wanted in on the ride. Without his brother's blessing, he tried to act as an unofficial representative in Kenya, even trying a run for governor. He got 1 percent of the vote. Malik then grew bitter and angry at his important brother, in part because Barack had helped bring down "one of his best friends" -- that is, Muammar Gaddafi.

The Third Nolan Brother Is A Murder Suspect And Prison Escape Artist

Matthew Nolan has the same creative streak as his filmmaker brothers Christopher and Jonathan; it's just that he uses his for evil. Matthew has pretended to be a member of the British Special Forces, and was investigated for his involvement in a $700,000 bank fraud scheme. But his biggest suspected crime was the 2006 murder of Florida businessman Robert C. Cohen in Costa Rica. It's a story of gems, kidnapping, and bellboys fit for any straight-to-DVD movie.

According to authorities, Matthew pulled a move right out of one of his brothers' capers. Pretending to be a multimillionaire jewel merchant, he lured Cohen to a hotel, where he and a bellboy kidnapped the wealthy businessman. But when the family failed to meet his ransom, Matthew allegedly tortured Cohen to death and fled the country. Eventually, the FBI grabbed him ... when he popped up back in the U.S. to attend his own bankruptcy hearing. One agent later revealed that the least-known Nolan "was the most arrogant person I have talked to."

Elon Musk's Brother Is A Seed-Loving Cowboy

With an easy smile and a prominent cowboy hat, it's easy to mistake Kimbal for the laid-back, underachieving Musk brother, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Kimbal has taken that famous Musk ambition and turned it toward supreme hippiedom, running a chain of community restaurants where a "no shoes, no service" policy would bankrupt him within days. But Kimbal's greatest passion is spreading his seeds -- and not in the way you'd think.
