Tom Hanks recently met with the Press Association to promote his upcoming film ‘Inferno,’ but spent some of the time sharing his thoughts about Donald Trump. 
On the topic of Trump’s predatory 2005 comments and the candidate’s attempt to excuse them as "locker-room talk," Hanks said, “He was at work, man. He wasn’t in a locker room.”
The actor continued, “Look... I’m offended as a man. I’m not offended as a husband or a father. I’m offended as a guy.”
He also offered an analogy of the candidate options being presented in this election. 
Said Hanks, “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. Has a degree on the wall and has a great history and expertise when it comes down to it.”
