While discussing nepotism, Tom Hanks defends his children working in the entertainment industry.
The debate on nepotism in Hollywood continues to reveal differing opinions from well-recognized stars. More recently, The Hollywood Reporter noted that Tom Hanks had weighed in on the ongoing discussion and offered his take on celebrities and their families working in the entertainment industry. While promoting the upcoming film A Man Called Otto, the Oscar-winning actor stopped to chat with Reuters (via The Sun) and explained what he thinks about having four kids – who Hanks says are all “very creative” and involved in some brand of storytelling” – working in the same industry as him.         As noted by THR, the Cast Away star has two children with his first wife (Colin and Elizabeth Hanks) and two more (Chet and Truman) with his current wife, Rita Wilson. All of Hanks’ kids work somewhere within the entertainment industry. Their jobs include working as producers, actors, cinematographers, and musicians. However, Hanks stated that it’s his kid’s quality of work and not their last name that holds weight.                 Tom Hanks Defends His Kids Working in the Entertainment Industry, Saying It’s ‘A Family Business’
