LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tom Hanks' son, Chet Hanks slammed Eric Andre for calling him 'dangerous and emotionally disturbed' when he guest-starred on the comedian's show 'The Eric Andre Show.'
The beef between the actor and the comedian started when Eric Andre, in an interview with Rolling Stone on Tuesday, March 14, said that Hanks was 'emotionally disturbed' and even accused him of 'stealing a motorcycle' while filming the show.

"Chet Hanks, on the other hand, was a tough cookie. He broke our crew. It felt like rust. He broke us down. 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***! He's not well", Andre said. "How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad?" the comedian asked.
'I'll match that energy'
The 'Greyhound' actor is furious with Andre's words. "Here's what happened with the Eric André s***. So Eric André invites me on his show. I had never seen it before so I started watching episodes. I see that it's like really on some weird, outlandish, troll s***, so I'm like, "Alright, cool, I'll match that energy", he told in an Instagram story.
"So I come on the show and I'm on some super, like, outlandish f*****g troll s*** thinking that he would get it, you know what I mean? At one point, he has a dude come and jump a dirt bike on the stage. Well, they must not have known that I ride dirt bikes 'cause I put that s*** up [and] start riding it around the set. And everyone's like, "No no no no! Don't do that! You can get hurt!" I popped a little wheelie and put the bike down," he continued.

Hanks then claimed that Andre did not like him because he outshined him at his own show by saying, "He must just not have liked that the fact I f****** outshined you on your own f****** show and honestly, when I was on there, the dude seemed shook 'cause when I came out and sat down, he seemed, like, genuinely nervous".
"There's a lot of f****** weirdos in Hollywood, and I think you are one of them. I thought you were funny and cool, but it turns out you're just a p****, dude. That's what's up", he added.
'Take a DNA test to prove he is Tom Hanks' son'
The comedian also did not sit back. He hit back at Hanks on an Instagram story on Wednesday, March 15, calling him a 'liar' and urging him to 'take a DNA test to prove that he is Tom Hanks' son.'
"Everything Chet Hanks just said about me is a f****** bold-faced lie. He's a f****** liar! And I dare him to take a f****** DNA test and prove that Tom Hanks is his f****** father!" wrote Andre.
