Passport drama unfolded after Chet Hanks revealed he is stuck in Medellin, Colombia, following international travel complications. The 35-year-old actor, son of Tom Hanks, shared in an Instagram video that he cannot return to the United States because he traveled using his Greek passport instead of his American one.
“I’m traveling with my Greek passport because I’m a dual citizen,” Hanks explained. He said he avoided using 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.”
Upon arriving at the airport for his return flight, Hanks said he was informed that because he entered Colombia on a foreign passport, he would “need a green card to get back into America.” He responded, “I don't have a green card, 'cause I'm an American citizen.” Without his U.S. passport in hand, Hanks said, “I’m literally stuck in Colombia. I’m stuck in Medellín.”
The actor noted that the nearest U.S. embassy able to assist him is located in Bogotá, roughly an hour flight away, though he expressed reluctance to make the trip. He ended his video jokingly urging fans to “free me.”
Fans responded online with humor, while others questioned how the situation might affect season two of his Netflix series “Running Point.” Hanks stars as Travis Bugg, a fictional professional basketball player navigating personal struggles. Reflecting on his career, he previously told Esquire, “If I don’t get this role, I’m just going to quit acting.”
