Adele caught Chet Hanks' attention when she showed her enviable body transformation on her latest post on Instagram. The 32-year-old star posted her photo, wearing Bantu knots and a Jamaican bikini top. It resulted in accusations of cultural appropriation, but Tom Hanks' son thought otherwise.
Chet shared a video of himself, where he asked the singer-songwriter to call him "ASAP." He was dancing and singing along to her 2011 hit, "Set Fire to the Rain," blasting it out on his car speakers.
After a few seconds of showing his odd moves, he turned the volume down and faced the camera, talking about the hitmaker. He called Adele's name thrice, using his faux Caribbean accent, for which he came under fire before.
Chet said he was swept when he saw her picture, stressing he was not telling a lie when he said her hairstyle fit her. He, then, turned the song's volume up again and pointed to his phone, suggesting Adele to call him.
In the caption, he tagged The Shade Room and asked someone to tell the mother-of-one to hit his line. He even added he needed to talk to her "about something."
According to LADbible, Chet referenced Adele's hairstyle from her recent Instagram post, which marked what would have been the Notting Hill Carnival event. In the snap, she was wearing a bikini top with the Jamaican flag style, paired with a Bantu knots do.
After the photo went viral, Chet's name also trended on Twitter, HollywoodLife noted. Now, fans wondered how long it would take the 30-year-old actor to make a move on Adele.
Simon Konecki's former wife, also, paired her bikini top with skin-tight tie-dye black leggings, which gave fans a full view of her 100 pounds weight loss. She even displayed her flat tummy for the first time since she lost weight. Adele paired her outfit with a yellow feathered high collar and a-$15,000 gold jewelry.
As of this writing, the snap already had over 5 million likes and more than 120,000 comments. She has broken the internet by a single post and made her a Twitter trend.
Anyhow, people seemed to be divided by Adele's body transformation and issues about cultural appropriation. But, as she mentioned Notting Hill Carnival in her caption, the songstress seemed to explain that it would have been her outfit if the annual summer event in London had pushed through to celebrate the British West Indian community, like Jamaica.
