The positive feelings are mutual, as Zolciak recently called Hanks a “nice guy” and smiled when a paparazzo mentioned his name.

“I’m living in Nashville right now, so it’s not that far [from Georgia],” he pointed out.

Hanks is very close with his A-list parents, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
Chet even told Page Six that the “Forrest Gump” star, 68, has offered him “really great advice” when it comes to his rising acting career.
