Chet Hanks Confronts Comedian Over Past Insults

Clear Facts

• Chet Hanks confronted comedian Eric André at ComplexCon over past comments André made about Hanks in a Rolling Stone interview.
• André called Hanks “emotionally disturbed” and said he “broke our crew” during a 2023 appearance on “The Eric Andre Show.”
• Hanks shared video of the encounter on Instagram and described André’s behavior as hypocritical and overly sensitive.

Chet Hanks, son of actor Tom Hanks, publicly confronted comedian Eric André about comments made years earlier.

The confrontation occurred at ComplexCon and was recorded on video by Hanks himself.

In the clip, Hanks approaches André and begins speaking to him directly about past remarks.

“Finally ran into @ericf—–gandre , who apparently travels to ComplexCon with 4 security guards (because the environment makes him uneasy) and who had NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER of trashing me to the media after I outshined him on his own show!!”

André responded by claiming the original tension stemmed from Hanks mocking Caribbean culture during his appearance.

“Until after being sheltered by his security team, began foaming at the mouth and admitted it was because he had a problem with me ‘mocking Caribbean culture’ when I did my Jamaican accent all those years ago. WHO KNEW that in addition to the brain rot and poop joke humor he is known for, Eric is also such a passionate cultural activist!!! Great running into you Eric!!!!”

Hanks had appeared on “The Eric Andre Show” in June 2023.

Months before that appearance, André told Rolling Stone that Hanks “broke our crew” and described the experience as chaotic.

“He is … emotionally disturbed. He stole a motorcycle and rode it around. He almost knocked a bunch of grips and gaffers off their ladders. It was very dangerous. He tried to prank us back, but we edited out all his bulls–t! He’s not well. How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad?”

Hanks responded at the time by calling André weak and claiming he had outshined the comedian on his own show.

The recent encounter ended with André walking away while mentioning Hanks’ father, Tom Hanks.
