Hollywood legend Tom Hanks said he does not agree with the idea of airbrushing classic literary works for sensitive audiences.

"I'm of the opinion that we're all grown-ups here. Let's have faith in our own sensibilities as opposed to having somebody decide what we may or may not be offended by," Hanks, 66, said, according to a report.

The actor is promoting his new novel The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece as classic works, including those of Agatha Christie and Ian Fleming, are being amended and adjusted for sensitivity and offensive text.

"Let me decide what I am offended by and what I'm not offended by," Hanks said. "I would be against reading any book from any era that says 'abridged due to modern sensitivities.'"

Hanks' new novel is inspired by his time in Hollywood, and the Academy Award winner will not be affected by any negative reviews, he said.

The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece was released Tuesday.
