Upon hearing what Eric André had to say about him in a Rolling Stone interview earlier this week, Chet Hanks has a few words of his own for the comedian. As you may recall, the former recalled his experience working on his self-titled show with the controversial actor, who reportedly nearly put several members of the cast and crew in danger with his reckless antics. “He broke our crew. It felt like ‘Rust.’ He broke us down,” the Bad Trip star explained, drawing comparison to the fatal incident that took place on the set of Alec Baldwin’s movie in 2021.
“[Chet] is… emotionally disturbed. He stole a motorcycle and rode it around. He almost knocked a bunch of grips and gaffers off their ladders,” André added, specifically dishing on the incident that put Hanks in his bad book. “He’s not well. How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad?” he went on, also expressing gratitude that his creative control allowed him to “edit out all [the] bullshit.”
Chet Hanks Claps Back
Rather than doing an interview of his own, Hanks handled things in a much more casual manner, addressing André on his Instagram Story. According to the father of one’s version of events, he “outshined” the 39-year-old on his own show, and was just trying to match up to his “weird, outlandish, troll” characters. Elsewhere, Chet described his former collaborator as “soft” and “easily scared,” even asserting that he had no idea Eric was “such a p*ssy 
.”
Hanks later added, “There’s a lot of f*cking weirdos in Hollywood, but I didn’t think you were one of them. I thought you were funny and cool but turns out you’re just a p*ssy.” Once André got wind of this, he couldn’t help but come back with some verbal warfare of his own. “Everything Chet Hanks just said about me is a f*cking bald-faced lie,” the multi-talent insisted. “He’s a f*cking liar. And I dare him to take a f*cking DNA test and prove that Tom Hanks is his f*cking father.” See for yourself in the video above, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
