Chet Hanks<\/a> thinks very highly of himself, to the point that if there was a White Boy Mount Rushmore, he believes he’d be the only face on it.<\/p>\n Speaking to Complex’<\/em>s Liberty Love at a one night-only table read of Eddie Huang’s upcoming film, Tuna Melt<\/em>, the actor and rapper was asked who he felt like belonged on the hypothetical Caucasian memorial.<\/p>\n “That’s easy,” he said without hesitation, before asking how many people are on Mount Rushmore. After being informed it was four, he answered: “Me, me, me, and me.”<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/strong><\/a> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n At the end of his answer, Hanks shouted out Dylan Dili of DaBand<\/a>, who was famously parodied by Dave Chappelle<\/a> on his Comedy Central<\/a> sketch show Chappelle’s Show.<\/em><\/p>\n In the Making the Band<\/em> sketch, Chappelle-as-Dylan rhetorically asks: “Who are the top five greatest rappers of all time?” His response, which went on to etch itself in pop culture history, was: “Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan because I spit hot fire.”<\/p>\n Hanks’ exchange with Complex<\/em> traces back to a concept he put into orbit in March 2021, when he took to Instagram to announce that it was going to be a “White Boy Summer.”<\/a><\/p>\n In that original post, he drew a clear line about what he meant: “I’m not talking about Trump, NASCAR type white. I’m talking about, you know, me, Jon B, Jack Harlow<\/a> type white boy summer.” The phrase was openly riffed from Megan Thee Stallion<\/a>‘s “Hot Girl Summer.”<\/p>\n He followed the announcement with a formal “rules and regs” list<\/a>, banning things like plaid shirts and salmon-colored clothes, as well as calling women “smoke shows.” Hanks also dropped a “White Boy Summer”<\/a> rap track with a video, which at time of reporting has 1.8 million views.<\/p>\n The Mount Rushmore clip arrives at a busy stretch for Hanks. He appears as fictional basketball player and rapper Travis Bugg on the Netflix<\/a> comedy Running Point<\/em><\/a>, which has been confirmed for a third season, and his country-leaning project, Something Out West<\/em><\/a> \u2014 which sees him team with Drew Arthur \u2014 drew his famous father, Tom Hanks<\/a>, to the crowd at Stagecoach Festival in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a> Chet Hanks Talks Iboga Experience, Discovering ‘Your Purpose Is to Be Kind’<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Tom Hanks Joins Crowd to Watch Son Chet Hanks Perform at Stagecoach Festival<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Chet Hanks Gets Candid About Growing Up With Famous Parents, Says He Felt ‘F*cking Worthless’<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Xolo Maridue\u00f1a to Return as Blue Beetle in James Gunn’s ‘Superman: Man of Tomorrow’<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Meagan Good Calls Divorce From DeVon Franklin the ‘Biggest Blessing’<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/strong><\/a> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.
