Chester “Chet” Hanks isn’t tardy when it comes to catching someone’s eye.
After all, E! News’ exclusive look at the trailer for Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets, the son of Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson and teases a possible romance between him and costar Kim Zolciak.
In the June 30 trailer, a shirtless Chet is seen entering a bedroom with the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum, who was wearing matching pink leggings and a sports bra. It cuts to a clip of him leaning over her on the bed. And Chet notes in the confessional, “Kim is a MILF.”
And for Kim, 46, a summer romance with Chet, 33, might be exactly who she needs right now. After all, the 46-year-old has made an effort to move forward amid her divorce from her estranged husband Kroy Biermann, with whom she shares children Brielle, 27, Ariana, 22, Kroy Jr., 13, Kash, 11, Kaia and Kane, 10.
In the upcoming season of Surreal Life, which debuts July 23 on MTV, Chet and Kim are joined by Teen Wolf’s Tyler Posey, Fifth Harmony’s Ally Brooke, singer Macy Gray, rapper O.T. Genasis, Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir and model Josie Canseco.
And as the trailer reveals, the Villa of Secrets is a place where the stars can get real. In fact, amid glimpses of activities like pretending to be jungle animals, climbing a mountain and spending time at the pool, the cast bares all to one another.
For Chet, it was sharing insight into his childhood, admitting, “I actually grew up feeling completely worthless.”
Tyler, meanwhile, opened up about his sexual experiences, telling Josie and Kim, “The first man I was with was a male prostitute.”
Macy shared that she’d been taking Ozempic, while Ally emotionally recalled her experience in a girl group.
“Being in Fifth Harmony, everything had to be perfect,” the 30-year-old recalled. “That was pressure for me.”
Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets premieres on Tuesday, July 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
