Eric André and Chet Hanks are fighting on social media after the comedian called Hanks "emotionally disturbed" in a recent interview.
Speaking with Rolling Stone in an interview published on Tuesday, André recalled how Hanks, son of legendary actor Tom Hanks, "broke" the show's crew while filming an episode of season six of "The Eric André Show," which premieres on June 4.
"He stole a motorcycle and rode it around," said André of Hanks. "He almost knocked a bunch of grips and gaffers off their ladders. It was very dangerous. He tried to prank us back, but we edited out all his bullshit."
"He's not well. How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad?" he added.
Firing back at André on Wednesday, Hanks tagged the 39-year-old comedian in an Instagram story calling him a "puss."
Hanks also shared a selfie-style video in which he admitted to riding around on a motorcycle on the set and having "popped a little wheelie," but said that he was just trying to "match [the] energy" of the "weird, outlandish" show.
"I was just playing along with your schtick, dude," Hanks said, addressing André, reports Page Six. "But it is what it is. Some people are just straight bitches. Apparently Eric André is one."
André soon replied to Hanks with an Instagram story of his own.
"Everything Chet Hanks just said about me is a fucking, bold-faced lie. He's a fucking liar," said André. "And I dare him to take a fucking DNA test and prove that Tom Hanks is his fucking father."
While André isn't a fan of Hanks, one person the "Jackass Forever" star has certainly been seeing eye-to-eye with is model Emily Ratajkowski.
André and Ratajkowski first sparked romance rumors after getting lunch together in January, and later vacationing in the Cayman Islands.
On Valentine's Day, they then posed nude in a photo shared on André's Instagram.
"I don't kiss and tell, bro," André said when asked about the relationship by Rolling Stone. "I think the think pieces and the mythology are more interesting than the reality."
On the nude photo, he said: "Emily popped up and took that picture. I was really in the moment: I was drinking wine, she started dying laughing, and she was like, 'I have to take a picture of this.' She took the picture, we both started cracking up, and she was like, 'This is iconic' — she kept saying 'iconic.'"
"We both agreed this was a beautiful image that we had to share with the world," André added.
