Tom Hanks says he would boycott woke versions of classic books
ACTOR Tom Hanks says he would boycott woke versions of classic books such as Roald Dahl tales.
Hanks, now a bestselling author, said he was “of the opinion that we’re all grown-ups here”.
His comments come after publisher Puffin announced it would remove or rewrite “offensive” language around issues such as weight and gender.
Asked if language should be changed in classics by children’s author Dahl and Agatha Christie, Forrest Gump star Hanks said: “We understand the time and the place and when these things were written.
“And it’s not very hard at all to say: that doesn’t quite fly right now, does it?
“Let’s have faith in our own sensibilities here, instead of having somebody decide what we may or may not be offended by.”
Hanks, 66, added on BBC Radio 4: “Let me decide what I am offended by and not offended by.
“I would be against reading any book from any era that says ‘abridged due to modern sensitivities’.”
PM Rishi Sunak has also previously spoken out against the woke rewrites.
He weighed in after Puffin Books altered passages deemed offensive – including removing the word fat when describing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s Augustus Gloop.

Q&A: At MIT event, Tom Siebel sees ‘terrifying’ consequences from using AI
Speakers ranging from artificial intelligence (AI) developers to law firms grappled this week with questions about the efficacy and ethics of AI during MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Digital conference. Among those who had a somewhat alarmist view of the technology (and regulatory efforts to rein it in) was Tom Siebel, CEO C3 AI and founder of CRM vendor Siebel Systems.
Siebel was on hand to talk about how businesses can prepare for an incoming wave of AI regulations, but in his comments Tuesday he touched on various facets of the debate of generative AI, including the ethics of using it, how it could evolve, and why it could be dangerous.
