Why Tom Hanks' son Chet is 'stuck' in Colombia
USA TODAY
Chet Hanks, son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, is allegedly stranded in Colombia after his return flight was delayed due to an issue with his passport.
Chet Hanks' vacay has unexpectedly turned into an extended stay.
The actor and rapper, son of Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks and actress-singer Rita Wilson, is allegedly stranded in Colombia after his return flight was delayed due to a passport issue, Hanks revealed in a video shared on Instagram Friday, Feb. 27.
"Free me," Hanks, 35, wrote in the post's caption.
Hanks said his travel predicament began when he decided to make an impromptu trip to Medellín, Colombia, after a recent visit to Puerto Rico. The "Running Point" actor said he refrained from bringing his U.S. passport because it was nearing its expiration date, opting for his Greek passport.
"I'm traveling with my Greek passport because I'm a dual citizen," said Hanks, who was born in Los Angeles. "Sometimes they don't let you in the country, even if [the passport] hasn't expired, but it's about to expire."
