In case you didn't know, Notting Hill Carnival is one of the biggest celebrations of Caribbean culture in the world.

Why Chet Hanks, son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson? Well, a video of him inexplicably speaking patois at the Golden Globes went viral earlier this year.
Someone said Adele’s next husband I can’t stand yalllllll💀💀💀💀
This is not the only time Chet has been on video speaking like this.
So, Chet himself just posted a video onto his Instagram with the calm caption, "PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ADELE HIT MY LINE ASAP !!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED TO TALK TO HER ABOUT SOMETHING 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲"
