‘I’M OFFENDED AS A MAN,’ GOOD- GUY HANKS WEIGHS IN

- Sadaf Ahsan, National Post

There aren’t many men more gentlemanl­y than Tom Hanks, so when Forrest Gump himself says he’s no fan of Donald Trump, he means it. Addressing comments the Republican nominee made in 2005 to Access Hollywood host Billy Bush, when he boasted about grabbing women “by the p— y,” Hanks said he was “offended” to the Press Associatio­n. “He was at work, man,” Hanks said. “Look, I’m offended as a man. I’m not offended as a husband or a father.” About the nominees, Hanks continued, “It’s kind of like if you have a horrible, painful tooth, and you need a root canal. Who are you going to see? A guy who says, ‘Oh, I think I can figure that out, how to do a root canal for you. Lay down.’ Or are you going to see somebody who’s done 6,000 of them?”
