Yes, Chet Hanks Really Is the Star of a New Morning-After Pill Campaign: What to Know

Chet Hanks stars in a new morning-after pill campaign for Julie, alongside Hallie Batchelder, portraying a 'stereotypical himbo' to promote the FDA-approved emergency contraceptive. The campaign, shot by Walker Bunting, uses humor to destigmatize emergency contraception and emphasize women's control over their sex lives.

In the age of seemingly endless fakery, thanks in large part to the rise of generative AI and run-of-the-mill bullshittery, it’d be easy to write off the below image of Chet Hanks https://www.complex.com/tag/chet-hanks fronting a morning-after pill https://www.complex.com/tag/sex ad campaign as yet another jokingly presented fabrication. However, as it turns out, this is all very real. The Walker Bunting https://www.instagram.com/walkerbunting/ -shot campaign, which pairs Hanks with Hallie Batchelder https://www.instagram.com/halliebatchelder/?hl=en , marks an undeniably shrewd move from the folks at Julie https://juliecare.co/?utm source=ig&utm medium=social&utm content=link in bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnGwvCK7trwLlVI35cMBCat-QAxfjsk3eJK4shfaontPZIA-FIu35ngHcoeWo aem n37O8hqilfYf7iOZnYmdNw . Naturally, Chet’s latest act of Chettery has inspired us to once again employ the following sentence: Below, we break down everything you need to know. Yes, Chet Hanks stars in Julie’s new morning-after pill campaign The campaign is real, and it’s spectacular. The Running Point actor and Something Out West singer has been enlisted by Julie to embody what’s described by the Julie team as “the stereotypical himbo.” Joining him is Extra Dirty host Hallie Batchelder, seen rocking an “I’m with stupid” t-shirt in several shots from the campaign. “Having a dumb boyfriend is a universal experience, but having one as the father of your children doesn’t have to be,” a Julie rep tells Complex. “Julie's new campaign, ‘I’m with Stupid,’ meets young women and whoever they’re dating at eye level. Starring Chet Hanks and Hallie Batchelder, the campaign embraces the affection we feel toward himbos while also lovingly rolling our eyes at their annoying quirks.” Chet Hanks hits the gym, inundates Hallie with fit checks, and raps for her The video element of the new Julie campaign finds Chet Hanks subverting some of the tropes some may have associated with him over the years. In one clip, seen below, he’s seen debuting a rap dedicated to Batchelder, who responds by holding a box of Julie up to the camera. “My ex-girl left me for a dude without a penny, now I’m rocking with fine shit—that’s you—off the Julie,” he raps while driving. “We got plenty. Pull up to your crib looking beautiful and heavy. She said, ‘Damn, you smell expensive.’ Girl, I know that shit already.” The Julie Morning-After Pill is FDA-approved and available without a prescription Humor, as evidenced by the new Chet and Hallie campaign, is central to how Julie promotes its core message of keeping women in charge of their own sex lives. Its FDA-approved emergency contraceptive is widely available at CVS, Walmart, Target, and via delivery. No prescription, proof of ID, or parental consent is required for purchase https://juliecare.co/products/emergency-contraceptive .
