During an interview to promote his upcoming film _Inferno_, the 60-year-old actor criticized the [the remarks about women](http://time.com/4523972/donald-trumps-comment-root-sexual-violence/) that Trump made during a leaked 2005 conversation with former _Access Hollywood_ co-host Billy Bush. “He was at work, man. He wasn’t in a locker room,” Hanks said, referencing the GOP candidate’s response to the comments as [“locker room” talk](http://time.com/4526039/donald-trump-locker-room-athletes/). “He was at work. He was showing up to do a thing on camera. Look, I’m offended as a man. I’m not offended as a husband or a father. I’m offended as a guy. That’s just not right, I’m sorry. It’s not right at work, it’s not right in the locker room. It’s wrong, period. The end. That’s all.” Watch the full clip above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4528931/tom-hanks-on-donald-trump-women-comments/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4528931/tom-hanks-on-donald-trump-women-comments/"},"headline":"Tom Hanks Unloads on Donald Trump's 'Locker Room' Comments: 'I'm Offended as a Man'","datePublished":"2016-10-12T22:15:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:35.791Z","description":"\"It’s wrong, period\"","url":"https://time.com/4528931/tom-hanks-on-donald-trump-women-comments/","keywords":["Newsfeed","2016 Election topic","celebrities","Tom Hanks","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7c40cc3ed5cc0cce/6988a9c9ab6d7754fd6ab8bf/tom-hanks-donald-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7c40cc3ed5cc0cce/6988a9c9ab6d7754fd6ab8bf/tom-hanks-donald-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"'INFERNO' German Premiere In Berlin","caption":"US actor Tom Hanks attends the German premiere of the film 'INFERNO' at Sony Centre on October 10, 2016 in Berlin, Germany.","creditText":"Isa Foltin/Getty Images for Sony Pictures","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4528931/tom-hanks-on-donald-trump-women-comments/","name":"Tom Hanks Unloads on Donald Trump's 'Locker Room' Comments: 'I'm Offended as a Man'"}}]}] ```
