Chet Hanks is explaining why he’s finally doing reality TV after years of offers coming his way … and Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are a big reason why he’s popping his cherry.

Chet tells TMZ … he turned down tons of reality TV opportunities over the years because the shows felt too negative, dramatic and messy … until MTV came calling with a spot on “The Surreal Life.”

After doing his homework and vibing with the producers, Chet says he felt good about joining the cast … and a discussion with his parents pushed the deal across the finish line.

Chet says his famous fam all agreed ‘Surreal Life’ would be a big opportunity for him … and the MTV show felt better for his image and career than a lot of the other offers that ended up on his desk.

When “Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets” premieres Monday night at 9 PM ET on MTV … Chet says Tom and Rita will be tuning in … and they’ll be following along all season.

Based on his experience here, Chet says he’s open to doing more reality TV … even though he’s had a decent share of movie roles in his Hollywood career.

Chet gets flirty with Kim Zolciak in the ‘Surreal Life’ trailer, but as we first reported … they never hooked up during filming.

Still, it’s interesting … Chet tells us he remains in touch with Kim and they even talked the other day. 🤔
