At ComplexCon last weekend, Tom Hanks’ son Chet Hanks confronted comedian Eric André over past comments André made about him during a Rolling Stone interview. In the video shared by Hanks on Instagram, he accuses André of having no memory of trashing him and brings up an issue with mocking Caribbean culture when using a Jamaican accent.

Story summary
In October 2026, Chet Hanks and Eric André confronted each other at the ComplexCon festival in Los Angeles, rekindling their long-standing feud. The dispute dates back to March 2023 when André criticized Hanks for allegedly stealing a motorcycle on set and behaving dangerously. This led to Hanks responding via Instagram, accusing André of mocking Caribbean culture during an earlier interaction. At the festival, Hanks confronted André about his past comments, noting that André was accompanied by four security guards due to perceived unease in the environment. The encounter escalated as Hanks accused André of having no memory of their previous conflict and mocked him for being a "cultural activist."

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
