OnlyStans ⭐️ Chet Hanks confronted Eric Andre at ComplexCon over his 2023 comments calling Chet “emotionally disturbed” following his dangerous behavior on “The Eric Andre Show”: “How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad.”

Chet Hanks comes off as Chet Hanks.

Theres a reason hes the black sheep of the family. Tom got him and Colin into the industry with a major leg up. Unlike Colin, Chet thought everybody owed him something. By all accounts an incredibly difficult person with a fragile ego. That's why now he just lives off the fact he is "Tom Hanks Son" and has no talent or outlet.

He doesn’t really seem like the black sheep though? He seems super close with his parents. I think the household that Tom’s kids with first wife were raised in and Tom’s kids with Rita were raised in were just incredibly different.

People are just talking shit. He’s on Running Point, it’s not like he washed out entirely.

Still, this is unsurprising

Haven’t seen the second season, but between the first and what I saw of him in Your Honor, Chet Hanks is actually pretty good at playing Chet Hanks.
