Tom Hanks’ son Chet Hanks is stranded in Colombia.
“Ya’ll ready for story time?” Chet said in an Instagram video shared on Friday, noting that he travelled to Puerto Rico last week for his “home Max’s birthday party,” where he “had a good time.”
The “Running Point” actor — who is the son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson — then explained he decided to take a detour to Medellin to visit a pal named Taylor.
“Sounds good, right?” he said while speaking to fans. “We’ll check this out.”

The actor and musician — who wore a black Los Angeles Dodgers ball cap, black shirt and heavy chain link necklace for the video — then shared how things had taken a stressful turn.
“I’m traveling with my Greek passport because I’m a dual citizen,” he said, adding that he didn’t use his American passport because it’s about to expire, “and sometimes they don’t let you in the country, even if it hasn’t expired, but it’s about to expire.”
He continued, “I go to the airport to check in [for] my flight three hours early.”
“This is an international flight. They tell me that if I’m using a foreign passport, I need a green card to get back into America.”
The incredulous “Surreal Life” alum then explained that he doesn’t “have a green card because I’m an American citizen,” so he’s “literally stuck in Colombia. I’m stuck in Medellin.”
He added, “Granted, there’s worse places to be stuck, but I literally have no f–king idea what I’m gonna do, and the only embassy to get this s–t settled is in Bogota.”
Chet shared that he doesn’t “want to go to Bogota,” which is roughly an hour away from Medellin by air, “so free me.”
A rep for Chet did not immediately return Page Six’s request for additional comment on Saturday.
Followers took to the comments thread with advice, jokes and sympathy. “Better call someone in your family to have them FedEx your passport to you ASAP,” one person wrote, with another responding, “Tom Hanks doesn’t have the best of luck with FedEx” — referencing the Oscar winner’s iconic turn in “Cast Away,” in which his character crashes on a deserted island aboard a FedEx airplane.
A third joked, “Time to start a family out there 😂,” while a fourth quipped, “The one time you should’ve pulled the “my dad is…” card.”
Still, others were amused by Chet’s declaration that he doesn’t have a green card. “Crying at I don’t have a green card cuz I’m an American citizen 😂” one Instagram user chimed in.
Chet, 35, appeared to have been making the most of the predicament — via Instagram Stories on Friday, the rapper shared clips from a dance club, where revelers danced among laser lights and fog.
