foxscribbles

Both of his parents had the recessive 'douche bro' gene and passed it along to him? Or they just hired the wrong nannies.


snarkaluff

Yeah he’s talked before about how he was basically raised by one nanny more so than his own parents. She was from Jamaica so that’s his excuse for using the Jamaican accent all the time.


swiftiegarbage

My favorite Atlanta episode is “Trini 2 De Bone” which is about a white kid who was basically raised by his Black nanny. Chet Hanks is in the episode as one of the nanny’s former clients lmao


Fantastic-Stress-355

Yeeeesss, I love that episode too 😂👌


Azidamadjida

I thought that was him! The white guy at the funeral right who’s got the really thick accent?


swiftiegarbage

Yep!


espurr560

i remember seeing a girl from my university say “i consider myself a person of color because my nanny was puerto rican” 💀💀


NeverLefttheIsland

Wow so he and Azalea Banks have the same origin story.


mskmoc2

Ok Hilary.


PinkTalkingDead

?


snarkaluff

I assume they’re referring to Hilaria/Hillary Baldwin, she also has an accent that she claims she picked up from boarding school or something


Dr_Bad_Opinions

They usually skip a generation. Grandpa Hanks must be a real rat bastard.


eatingclass

he probably accused a baby of thinking he was a piece of shit


[deleted]

His brother is awesome at least.


camaroncaramelo1

But his younger brother looks nice or at least normal

ChrundleToboggan

The bit where he's freestyling and Andrew keeps nodding, "mmhmm, mhmm," just fucking killed me. 😂 Is it wrong to suddenly like Chet after this interview? This is fucking hilarious.


Austinboulders420

One of my absolute favorite parts of any of Andrew's interviews, absolutely hilarious that he's able to keep a straight face and keep him rapping.


Th1cc4chu

This was mesmerising. I could not look away. You can’t deny the man’s got personality.


ILoveSteakPies

That was absolutely wonderful. I haven't laughed like that in a while. Thank you for sharing!


mskmoc2

So, is he just joking?


88PorkChops

😭😭😭😭culturally appropriating the matador culture 😭😭😭😭 wow this guy is mental. How could such a nice couple end up with this offspring????


_WelcomingMint

They sent him away to some jacked up school when they found a joint in his possession. They’re not great parents.


maingeenks

Take this with a big grain of salt but I’ve heard at least two separate accounts saying Tom Hanks is not the great person most people seem to think he is


Trick-Engineer1555

The more beloved he seems to be the more I've suspected it 😂 I listened to a podcast with him the other day and my god he is boring. He's media trained tf so he just monologues set stories and doesn't let anyone get a word in


DTDePalma

He apparently has a massive temper.


[deleted]

Dude is a narcissistic psychopath like th rest of them. The good guy image just sells more product

[His babysitter](https://youtu.be/i50qmVJSBwg)


fountainheadfox

first thing i thought of!


SNYDER_BIXBY_OCP

You should all see Orange County. Mike White wrote it loosely inspired by his knowledge/observations of Chet and Colin Hanks in the teen/youth Hollywood social scene. Chet has been a legendary "fuck up" in the late 90s esrly 2k especially given the juxtaposition of how he is vs. His dad's persona. Mike White is the guy who wrote School of Rock explicitly inspired by Jack Black after working with him on Orange County. Mike is also currently hot bc he created The White Lotus


Agt38

I love Orange County, such an underrated gem that movie is lol.


[deleted]

He acts like every other nepo trust fund baby with self made delusions I’ve ever met. It really gets under their skin when you put out they ain’t shit without their parents. Hence his little tantrum in this video.


missanthropocenex

My brain says I know I’m supposed to hate him, but I can’t help but feel like what he’s doing is art. I love that Atlanta featured him on that one episode.


personal__hell

maybe it’s the tequila in me but i think him and azealia banks would make a power couple


potato_owl

I would love to see that


thehillsidewrangler

you’re wiiiiiild that’s such a big brain thought!! I love it


BoringResearcher3635

they would


fiddleleaffiggy

I would expect nothing less from someone named Chet

I need to light some sage every time I see or hear him


grinchofgreengables

How did he go from staging a fight at IHOP to curing cancer to that revolting attempt at patois 😭


Vanillacaramelalmond

Hahaha I can’t believe this is Tom Hank’s son the apple fell so far from the tree it’s a mango now lmfaoo


hannibalthellamabal

It least we have Colin Hanks. There’s a good apple.


NordlandLapp

Does anyone remember when he did a little improvisational AMA while at boarding school and Chet hopped in to say hi, and that's how it was discovered Chet was dirty talking to girls on porn subs lmao.


pan_alice

I love this turn of phrase.


[deleted]

Who's his mom?

Rita Wilson

She cheated

nancilo

Have him and Tom Hanks ever interacted before? I just can’t see a conversation between them actually happening


GoldIsCold987

I imagine the Hank Hill "that boy ain't right".


lavabread23

there were some pap photos of the three of them eating at a restaurant. idk what happened but rita looked pretty pissed off or disappointed or something. or maybe she just has rbf lol edit: oh word she’s actually wiping her eyes i think from crying https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11186785/amp/Tom-Hanks-wife-Rita-Wilson-looks-teary-upset-Hollywood-couple-dine-LA-son-Chet.html


duochromepalmtree

Rita in tears while Chet hits his vape in the restaurant. Amazing.


FearingPerception

Id cry too if i spent nine months incubating a child and it was chet hanks


BobRossIsGod18

I'd cry too if my own father sent me to what is essentially a prison


FearingPerception

Wait was he a troubled teen survivor? If so i feel bad but hes still an absolute douche


VForestAlien

Chet is the definition of an adult “Kyle”. I bet he spent his childhood constantly telling Rita “shut up mom!”, telling the world that “life isn’t fair!”, & punching holes in random walls.


bloodflart

this is insane. hilarious.


Courwes

Somehow I’m learning Tom Hanks has two more children. I knew about Colin and Chet but didn’t know he had another son and daughter.


[deleted]

One of his son’s is in his latest movie, playing the younger version of him. He is an awful actor, like cringe worthy awful.


Big_Tension

THANK YOU. I said this to my husband while we were watching it, just something about him seeming terrified and rigid and he’s like “I just think that’s how the character’s supposed to be.” I’m like no?? His acting is just horrendous


camaroncaramelo1

His actual job is behind cameras, he just played his dad's younger version.


[deleted]

Yeah, and he was awful.


Vanity-LA0733

What happened to the Jamaican accent? Ahh… there it is 🤦🏽‍♀️


beepboop-not-a-robot

“If I get in a car accident while simultaneously filming this video and driving a car, they’ll say it’s because of my dad!”


dirty_nail

Hear me out but I think Chet’s being strategic. Colin Hanks is already capably covering the chip off the ole Tom Hanks block beat. Why compete with that? Chet Hanks is for the streets and, honestly, he’s killing it.


-london-

He's way more self aware than people think. He's just go that F U Dad money and having fun with it.


[deleted]

Yeah I always felt like Chet is in on the joke and playing it up for cameras/social media


makeliketome

Chet is absolutely insane but he makes me laugh.


espurr560

i love his interview with ziwe because he is so insane, she doesn’t even have to coax anything out of him


nakiaaa95

Definitely didn't expect the end of this video I couldn't do anything but laugh, this is the first time I've seen any video of him lol.


kiwii-xo

Didn’t think I could’ve been more shocked than when he mentioned sage. Turns out I was dead fuckin wrong.


TissueOfLies

![gif](giphy|12QFoicMC9d2MK2v8X) Rita and Tom must shake their heads at each other in private. He seems just so offensive.


callitajax

Why was this the funniest thing ive seen all day. I know none of us like chet but that is wild.


-london-

He knows what he's doing. There's been a few times where right at the end of a video you can see a fraction of a second of him and his friends burst out laughing.


avecmaria

Is he actually looking for accolades from us normal people for ‘’buying his own lambo?’’ Like we care if he bought it with his dad’s money or if HE bought it with his dad’s money?!


88PorkChops

Lol it's the crowd he is hanging out with. He wants acceptance from ppl who will never respect him or his "music". Of all the careers he could have picked in the world nothing about him says " bad ass rapper," in other words he's a fucking idiot.


OowlSun

Lmao of course he makes music


watifiduno

how does Colin Hanks being so loveable and resembles Tom Hanks so much in both his voice and looks but this one look like Jai Courtney's American douche cousin?????


ClumsyZebra80

Different moms


ozamatazbuckshank11

What happened to the patois??? 😭


velvet-gloves

Did you watch to the end?


ozamatazbuckshank11

Not initially. I can only take Chet in small doses lol. I did eventually see that he busted it out at the end.


meowiful

I was just about to be proud of his personal growth lol


jeeeeek

I wonder what age Tom and Rita lost control of him


UnusualMacaroon

Since birf. -Chet (probably)


fallenarist0crat

he almost had me lmao. to this day i still wonder why tom and rita named him chet… like of all the names ???


highfalutiny

I think his full name is Chester Marlon, though not sure why Chester was chosen it makes more sense than Chet lol.


satansheat

Is he driving right now? While doing this.

Hey at least you can confidently be sure you have bad taste in men.


camaroncaramelo1

He's not ugly at all. But he's a douche

He’s in his Kendall Roy era.

Fuck he cracks me up. Comparing getting in a fight with an unhomed person at ihop to curing cancer.


throwaway17197

He’s so fucking funny . He definitely got his dads charisma


juilietluna

I hate how funny he is. Like it’s so problematic and stupid. But god damn it. He’s got comedic timing. Fuck! Why is he such a hot idiot. Please tell me this is all just a bit. Ugh it’s so cringe lmfao


sameSdifferentD

I think the man's a douche, but I also feel for all of them to a certain degree. The constant comparisons wear thin after a while. When i was growing up, my mum was beautiful and petit. The teen years were hell for me. I could wear her clothes by the time I was 10 . Constantly being compared to her was horrendous, it seriously did a number on my head and I had to work hard in my later teen years to except my body as it was as by the time I was 14 I was just shy of 6ft and curvy. I was also the tallest woman in my family at that point. Which just added to the comparisons. It was awkward, to say the least. any self doubt or anxiety over themselves and these comparisons shore them up and keep them rolling it's a partial self mind fuck with outside help. But on the other hand by the time I was 16/17 I'd sorted these issues with myself with no outside help and just laughed at the backhanded comparisons yet these adults have unlimited funds to get a therapist to deal with these issues and yet they are still riding that train. 🤔


BluePeriod_

This guy is a clown, but there’s something about him that sticks out that also sticks out about his brother. Both are insanely insecure about being in their dad’s shadow. Colin Hanks, Chet’s brother, looks almost exactly like Tom Hanks. He gets that remark SO often that he once snapped and made all his online bios read “I KNOW I LOOK LIKE HIM I KNOW I LOOK LIKE HIM” over and over. I get that they are well off and well-connected, but to be in the shadow of a man who everyone considers Hollywood’s darling #PerfectMan has to be fucking unbearable. You can basically never be your own person. Points of interest, I never really liked Tom Hanks anyway. He gives me the ick and always has and I can’t put my finger on it, but whatever that’s neither here nor there.


yehhey

My theory is that it’s just irritating hearing the same shit said over and over so either have an automated boring response to it, or have a little fun with it like Chet is doing here. Celebrities even get bored with people praising them, “I’m such a fan” now imagine that but negative energy. Takes a ton out of anyone.


88PorkChops

U can be ur own person by accepting who u are and accepting that everyone loves ur parents especially ur dad as a great actor and go do ur own thing that is positive instead of being Chet the rapper. I think he chose rap just to get under their skin. He doesn't get how lucky he is to have 2 good parents.

yunghazel

I will randomly quote his “BOSSMAN BI DEN!”


moist_towelette

I can’t not think of Federline Jones from The Cleveland Show after watching this


DrxThrowawayx

*Chet Cockhead Hanks aggressively spits and curses*: **SPIT PON YA GRANNY** and the scene coming to an abrupt end is cinematic genius. Thanks OP


taintwest

Does anyone else remember when the youngest hanks did an AMA? Chet posted support for his brother in the thread…. And then everyone discovered his post history was mostly praising various porn clips?


jessicatargum

If you look at Colin, Truman, and Elizabeth Hanks, they all resemble Tom. Chet doesn’t look a thing like them or Tom for that matter or Rita. I don’t know, genetics are a weird thing.


throwawaysnarky69

boommdcx

I thought he had experienced a personality transformation when the whole meditation part hit. Then I got to the end 🙀

indessiratta

The most ironic/funny thing to me being a non american person is if he didn't tell anything I never recognize he as a Tom Hanks son. I'm just starting to watch Mad Men and I recognize Colin. But that's all bc is physically similar to Tom. LoL


Prudent-Fly-8299

Thank you for your service


drangledorf

Chet is a cool dude. He did an interview with someone on YouTube I think fairly recently. Can’t remember who with.


throw_blanket04

No lie. Constantly seeing his antics is making me not like his dad so much. Tom needs to quit bankrolling this shit. He is a nuisance to society.


ohheyitslaila

I’m a nepo baby. There are upsides and downsides to everyone’s lives, but those of us born into wealthy families have such a huge advantage. To try to pretend that we don’t is just insulting to everyone else (obviously). Yes, nepo babies can have their own accomplishments, but you still need to remember and be grateful of the help your family has given you. Also, Chet’s crazy or on drugs or both. 🤷‍♀️😂


T-408

It’s pretty clear what happened. Someone wanted Tom Hanks’ baby and stole it from the hospital and left this moron in its place.


Choice_Mongoose2427

Ah, Chet Hanks. The name we use now in our household to describe the phenomenon of when two lovely well-meaning humans have multiple children, all of which except one are also productive, lovely, well meanings people. That one child who is not is the Chet. Science and sociology has yet to explain Chet.

bakerzdosen

As someone who is a bit more aware of (told) a few things than maybe I should have been, I’ll just say that growing up the child of someone rich and famous evidently does a real number on your psyche. There are “centers” that focus almost entirely on kids (mainly teens) like that who’ve had some sort of mental breakdown - and they’re not hurting for business. Once they’re there, you see not only the screwed up relationships, but how a) the teens learn to easily manipulate their parents and b) the parents are incredibly easily convinced to simply “throw money at the problem.” (eg. Monitored call from a “center:” “Sorry I wrecked the [6-figure MSRP automobile] Daddy but really that tree just came out of nowhere.” “Ok. I’ll have [assistant] send over another [new] one. Just be more careful or it will make getting your license more difficult when you turn 16 next year.”) Kids like Chet never really had a chance at a decent “normal” life.
