AceShowbiz - Chet Hanks, the 33-year-old son of Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, made headlines this week with the reinvigoration of his phrase "White Boy Summer." The term initially garnered attention in 2021 and is positioned as a non-racial, good-vibes-only movement. On Monday, May 20, Chet shared a selfie in his Lamborghini and boldly declared it would be a "White Boy Summer," only to find himself in a potentially sticky situation with the law the next day.

On Tuesday, Chet was pulled over by police in Venice Beach. He was pictured parked on the side of the road as two officers approached his glossy black sports car, which notably lacked license plates - a likely reason for the stop. The incident didn't seem to dampen his spirits; Chet was seen smiling behind the wheel, sporting a new buzz cut and a striking blonde beard.

Chet was joined by a passenger, who appeared to record the interaction with law enforcement. His attire - a crew neck white T-shirt, rectangular sunglasses with transparent frames, and lenses with a subtle blue tint - matched his laid-back Instagram persona. He accessorized with a Cuban link chain and diamond stud earrings, rounding out the look that also featured prominently during the traffic stop.

Earlier, Chet had reignited the "White Boy Summer" conversation on social media by drawing parallels with Megan Thee Stallion's "Hot Girl Summer" campaign. His initial declaration of the term led to widespread ridicule online, with one user jestingly pointing out, "Someone tell Chet Hanks that we're already several thousand years into a white boy summer."

To preempt any backlash, Chet was quick to clarify that his "White Boy Summer" is not what one might assume. "I'm not talking about 'Trump and Nascar type white,' " he captioned, emphasizing a focus on "good vibes." He even took the opportunity to defend his go-to fashion choice - a ribbed white tank top, often colloquially referred to as a "wifebeater."

The actor humorously addressed concerns over the tank top's controversial nickname: "Someone also asked me can we ban wifebeaters. If we're talking about actual people who beat their wives? Yes. If we're talking about the tank tops? Absolutely not. I don't know anything more White Boy Summer than a wifebeater."

Aside from reigniting his viral catchphrase, Chet also teased new music on Instagram. Once a rapper under the moniker Chet Haze, he prompted his fans with the question, "Y'all want new music?" in a Story post. This tease came days after he hilariously explained the rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake to his famous father, Tom Hanks, setting the internet abuzz once again.
