Tom Hanks' Son Shares Why He Moved to a Nashville 'Trailer Park'

On Tuesday, April 28, ChetHanks visited the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonto promote the new season ofRunning Point.

The Netflix sports comedy premiered on February 27, 2025, and stars KateHudson as Isla Gordon, Brenda Song as Ali Lee, Scott MacArthur as Ness Gordon, and Drew Tarver as Sandy Gordon.

The series was co-created by MindyKaling, ElaineKo, David Stassen, and Ike Barinholtz and is co-directed by Michael Weaver, Thembi Banks, James Ponsoldt, and David Stassen.

Running Point follows 30-something Isla Gordon after she is suddenly put in charge of reviving her family's business, the Los Angeles Waves basketball team franchise.

While promoting the show, Chet Hanks, who is also the son of TomHanks and RitaWilson, revealed his unique living situation.

"I didn't want to get an apartment because I literally just got a condo in L.A. and I furnished it," he said. "I didn't want to do that again, and I didn't want to furnish it. So I was, like, staying in Airbnbs and hotels, and that gets really old because I just like having my own space."

Hanks recently moved to Nashville to pursue country music. After his arrival, he went on a solo road trip to Carmel-by-the-Sea.

"I stayed in an Airstream trailer, and I really loved it," he said. "I was like, ‘Man, I want one of these…' So I did. I got a trailer."

He currently lives in a Jayco Eagle in Nashville. The actor knows his residence of choice might get a negative reputation, but he reassured Fallon he has everything he needs. The trailer is equipped with a kitchen and a walk-in shower, which Hanks called a "big deal."

"It's not what you think, you know? You think, oh, you're gonna live in a trailer park. It might be a little sketchy. It might be a little dangerous. It's all just, like, retirees, you know? Great people," he said.

Running Point season two is now streaming on Netflix. Watch the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon interview below.
