Chet Hanks escalated his years-old feud with Eric André at ComplexCon in Los Angeles over the weekend, in a video obtained by TMZ and reported by Page Six. The 36-year-old son of Tom Hanks approached the comedian from behind and tapped him on the shoulder. André, 43, initially looked pleased to see him, holding out a hand and asking, "What's up?" — but Hanks did not return the shake. According to UNILAD, the clip was posted on Hanks' own Instagram, and although it is largely inaudible, both men removed their sunglasses as they squared up to each other. Page Six reports that both began screaming at each other before André's security intervened and swept the host away.

The beef traces to Hanks' 2023 appearance on "The Eric André Show." Page Six reports André later called Hanks "emotionally disturbed" in a 2023 Rolling Stone interview following what he described as a "dangerous" sit-down, telling the outlet, "He broke us down. He stole a motorcycle and rode it around. He almost knocked a bunch of grips and gaffers off their ladders." Hanks countered that he was simply matching the show's troll energy, recalling he picked up the dirt bike and "popped a little wheelie," then accused André of being angry because he "outshined" him on his own show. He blasted the host as a "f–king weirdo," and André responded on Instagram by calling everything Hets said a lie — with a DNA jab: "I dare him to take a f–king DNA test to prove that Tom Hanks is his f–king father."

For devoted celebrity watchers, the surprise is that this three-year cold war just went hot in person — and that Hanks claimed on Instagram, per UNILAD, that André admitted the real grievance was the Jamaican accent, a cultural-sensitivity framing few expected from the shock-comedy host. UNILAD says it reached out to representatives for both Hanks and André for comment, and Page Six reports André's rep did not respond, so André's side of the ComplexCon encounter remains officially silent. With both men prolific on social media, the next move likely lands on a feed rather than in a statement — and given André's history of turning feuds into content, fans should expect this escalation to keep generating material.
