Chet Hanks, the 35-year-old son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, has moved into a trailer park in Nashville. He confirmed this on the "Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," explaining the decision as a desire to focus on his country music career with the band Something Out West. Hanks noted that he owns an apartment in Los Angeles but, after a trip to California where he stayed in a trailer, was inspired by a simpler lifestyle and gave up renting an apartment to avoid furnishing a new place.
He lives in a Jayco Eagle RV equipped with a kitchen and a separate shower, which he considers important. The community in the park consists mostly of retirees, whom Hanks called "wonderful people." He also uses the campground's common amenities, including barbecue facilities.
