Chet Hanks finds himself stuck in Colombia after an unexpected travel mishap. The 35-year-old, known for his role in “Running Point,” traveled to Medellín after a trip to Puerto Rico for a friend’s birthday. Initially using his Greek passport due to his American passport nearing expiration, Chet encountered issues when trying to return to the U.S. Without a green card, he couldn’t board his flight home, leaving him stranded in Medellín.
In a candid Instagram video, Chet humorously shared his predicament, acknowledging the irony of needing a green card as an American citizen without his U.S. passport. Despite the frustrating situation, he noted Medellín isn’t the worst place to be stuck.
Complicating matters, Chet must travel to Bogotá, an hour’s flight away, to resolve his passport issue at the U.S. embassy. As he waits for a solution, he continues to share updates and moments from his trip on Instagram, including a carousel of photos from Puerto Rico.
His mother, Rita Wilson, has shown support by liking his video, suggesting the situation is under control. Meanwhile, fans await the April premiere of “Running Point” season 2, looking forward to more from Chet.
