Tom Hanks’ son Chet is mocked after debuting new accent: ‘Identity crisis’

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s son Chet has been mocked online after debuting a new accent on social media.

Chet, 34, who previously raised eyebrows by using a Jamaican accent, appeared to adopt a New York-inspired speaking style this week as he addressed fans in an Instagram video.

“It’s crazy brick in here, B,” he said to the camera as he walked through the snow-covered streets of New York.

“Word to my muvva, I’m bricked,” he continued, uttering a handful of other indecipherable words.

Chet’s video was reposted by an account called Hollywood Unlocked, and people in the comments section couldn’t resist roasting the White Boy Summer rapper – with one accusing him of suffering from an “identity crisis.”

“Sounds like an undercover cop,” one commented, while another wrote, “He’s a good actor just like his dad.”

A third wrote: ‘I know Tom wakes up amazed and bewildered every day because this is his child.’

Another added, “I hate when non-New Yorkers use the accent, it makes me lose myself.”

“Nobody even talks like that unless they just got out of jail,” wrote a fifth.

Other people in the comments debated Chet’s use of the term “bricked,” with many claiming it could mean anything from having an erection to slang for drugs.

“Like what do you mean you’re bricked up? I’m just using the jargon all wrong,” one person commented.

‘Don’t say ‘I’m bricked up’ to describe how cold we are. “I’m bricked up means you’re in possession of hella kilos lol,” wrote another.

Chet previously admitted that his famous parents banned him from appearing on reality TV shows until they finally relented and allowed him to participate in VH1’s The Surreal Life.

‘They certainly said that [no reality TV] as far as the typical reality shows go,” the rapper told DailyMail.com.

“When this came up, we discussed it and everyone agreed… we all agreed that this could really be a great opportunity for me and it was perfect,” he continued about The Surreal Life.

“They were really supportive. I was excited and everyone was.”

The White Boy Summer rapper is the eldest son of Academy Award winner Tom, 68, and his longtime wife and singer Rita, 67

Chet is the eldest son of Academy Award winner Tom, 68, and his longtime wife and singer Rita, 67. They are also parents to 27-year-old Truman.

Tom also shares Colin and Elizabeth, with his late ex-wife Samantha Lewes.

Chet has long been synonymous with controversy, having made headlines for his erratic behavior over the years.

He has also been open about his past drug use, revealing in July that he was a “cokehead.”

“I’m a fucking cokehead, straight up. Not anymore, but that’s my drug of choice: cocaine, man, just like Tony Montana,” he said.

“You say, ‘I know this guy’s a fucking cokehead, but I want a little bump.’

“I was going to do coke with the cokeheads, and they told me, ‘Yo, chill, bro… Wait a minute. Give it about 15 minutes.’ I couldn’t get enough of it.’

Chet, who said he had been sober for almost two years at the time, added of his past addiction: “It’s horrible. It eats away. You just waste away because you can’t eat and you can’t sleep.’

Chet talked about his hopes for his appearance on The Surreal Life, saying, “Just so people can see a different side of Chet Hanks… and I think they will.”
