British detectives are hunting down Hollywood star Tom Hanks' son after he allegedly smashed up his hotel room.

Chester Hanks, also known as Chet Haze, had been the guest star at a club not far from the Arora International where he was staying. He was spotted drinking champagne and vodka in the VIP lounge section.

A source claimed: 'He was pretty obnoxious once he started drinking at the club. He kept saying "do you know who I am?"' Nobody recognized him and it annoyed the 24-year-old aspiring rapper.

The source added that he then went back to the hotel with a British actor friend and three female promoters. He was sick in the car park and then went up to the room and got really loud.

“He asked the girls if they would join him in the bed, but they are not like that. So he started screaming and making a right noise. He saw some sprinkled make-up called banana powder and started asking ‘who’s got the coke?’ But nobody did drugs there. Then he started shouting that he was not going to share it with another man.”

Hanks is said to have gone berserk, causing almost $2,000 worth of damage.

He was apparently so loud that other hotel guests, including airline pilots, complained. A receptionist went up to the room to plead with Hanks to keep quiet.

Staff at the hotel near Gatwick Airport, southern England, called police after discovering a TV set ripped off the wall and shattered glass.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: “A guest has caused an estimated £1,200 of damage to a hotel room.

“We have been given the name of the suspect, a 24-year-old man from the USA. We are working with other agencies to try to trace him so he can be interviewed.”

Last November Chet revealed on his Instagram a long battle with drug addiction but he said he is now sober.

When the Sunday Mirror put the claims to him, Hanks replied in a text that the claims are 'a slanderous bold-faced lie' and threatened the 'full force of my legal team'.
