Chaz Bono is the only child of Sonny and Cher’s singing duo. However, even though the world first met Chaz as a young bright-eyed girl named Chastity on his parents’ television show, “The Sonny & Cher Show,” years later, Chaz stepped out of his parents’ shadow and built a solid career for himself. Chaz, a writer, musician, and actor, has been an LGBT activist since he first came out in 1995.
The actor, now a household name in show business, had to overcome many obstacles before establishing himself today. After dealing with his health issues, he became an outspoken advocate for body image and addiction, both of which he battled for a time. Chaz is open and honest about his past, hoping his story will help others.
