Tom Hanks’ son Chet pleads ‘I’m an American citizen’ after being ‘stranded’ abroad

Tom Hanks’ son, Chet Hanks, says he is stuck in Colombia due to a passport issue.

Posting on Instagram on Friday (27 February), the 35-year-old said that he was informed that he would need a green card to return to the US as he had travelled with his Greek passport instead of his American one, which was close to expiring.

“I’m an American citizen,” he stressed, adding he is now stranded in Colombia. “Granted, there’s worse places to be stuck, but I literally have no f***ing idea what I’m gonna do,” he said.

“Free me,” he laughed as he concluded his video.
