Chet Hanks shoots his shot at Lizzo after she slides in Chris Evans DMs and we can’t keep up
Chet Hanks has found a ‘queen’ to enjoy his ‘White Boy Summer’ with – and that woman is Lizzo.
After Lizzo made attempts to shoot her shot with Captain America star Chris Evans and received a reply, Chet turned the hilarious situation into a love triangle by trying to land his own slam dunk.
If reading between those lines was a little bit of headache, here’s the situation simplified…
Lizzo drunkenly slid into Chris’ DMs on Instagram and warned her followers: ‘Don’t drink and DM, kids….for legal porpoises this is a joke.’
The Juice singer, real name Melissa Jefferson, had sent emoji of wind blowing, a man jumping and a basketball, suggesting she was ‘shooting her shot’ (meaning being brave and showing interest in someone you like) with Chris.
However, it actually paid off as she revealed in a follow up post that the actor had followed her on Instagram as well as reply to her saucy proposition like the sweetheart he is.
Seeing the funny side, he told her: ‘No shame in a drunk DM…god knows I’ve done worse on this app.’
So now enter Chet, son of Hollywood legend Tom Hanks, who is just trying to live his best life this summer.
After catching wind of Lizzo’s boldness, Chet then wrote in his Instagram stories on Monday: ‘[Lizzo] if it don’t work out with Captain America, I’m here, baby.’
He added the hashtag #WBS in reference to his ‘White Boy Summer’ and also #BQS, which stands for ‘Big Queen Summer’.
Lizzo is yet to reply to Chet’s request but we’re guessing she’s weighing up her options.
The singer’s DMs may be off the chain right now after she posted a thirst trap on Tuesday but, it was actually for an empowering cause.
Announcing her new partnership with Dove, the singer explained: ‘To celebrate I wanna give y’all this unedited selfie.. now normally I would fix my belly and smooth my skin but baby I wanted show u how I do it au natural — I am excited to be partnering with @dove and the #DoveSelfEsteemProject which is helping to reverse the negative effects of social media and changing the conversation about beauty standards. Let’s get real y’all.’
