Mixed · 2Chet Hanks, the 36-year-old musician and son of Tom Hanks, confronted comedian Eric André at ComplexCon over the weekend and posted video of the encounter on Instagram. 1 2 Mixed · 2In the video, Hanks approaches André as he walks through the convention and puts a hand on his shoulder. André responds in a friendly tone, asking "What's up?", before Hanks confronts him; André can be heard asking "What'd I say?" 1 2 Mixed · 2Hanks's remarks are largely inaudible, and André shrugs a couple of times. The clip ends with André walking away with his security team and saying something back, which Fox News describes as being about Hanks's father and The Independent as shouted at Hanks, while Hanks laughs with friends and says, "That was a long time coming." 1 2

Mixed · 2In his caption, Hanks said André travels to ComplexCon with four security guards and had "NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER" of trashing him to the media after Hanks "outshined him on his own show." Hanks claimed André then admitted, after being sheltered by security, that his problem was Hanks "mocking Caribbean culture" with a Jamaican accent years ago, and mocked him as a "passionate cultural activist." 1 2 Mixed · 2The feud dates to Hanks's June 2023 appearance on "The Eric Andre Show." Months earlier, André told Rolling Stone that Hanks "broke our crew," was "emotionally disturbed," rode a motorcycle in a dangerous way around crew members, and that his pranks were edited out. 1 2 Mixed · 2André also asked, "How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad?" Hanks replied on Instagram Stories by calling André a "p---y" and saying he was trying to "match energy" with the show's guests. 1 2

Mixed · 2The Independent adds that André then told it, "Tell him to say that s*** to my f***ing face," and said he did not believe Hanks was Tom Hanks's son. Both outlets said they had contacted André or his representatives for comment, and none had been reported. 2 1
