Emma Thompson's Unexpected Date Request from Donald Trump on Her Divorce Day
SHOCKING ROMANTIC PROPOSAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD!
In a jaw-dropping revelation that has left fans and fellow celebrities alike stunned, Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson has come forward with a shocking story about her brush with Donald Trump. The 66-year-old Dame of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) revealed that the 79-year-old former US President had asked her out on a date just one day after she finalized her divorce from fellow actor Kenneth Branagh.
The news was shared by Thompson at the prestigious Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, where she was being honored with the Leopard Club Award for her remarkable career achievements. Speaking candidly about the incident, Thompson quipped that had she accepted Trump's invitation to dinner, she may have single-handedly altered the course of American history.
According to Thompson, the phone call came while she was filming Primary Colors in 1998, a movie inspired by Bill Clinton's rise to power. Initially thinking it was a prank or a mistake, Thompson answered with a mix of amusement and skepticism, asking how she could assist Trump. The former President, known for his... erm... unique charm, responded with an invitation to stay at one of his luxurious properties, followed by a dinner date.
Thompson's response? A polite but firm "Thank you so much" coupled with a promise to get back to him – a clear indication that she was not interested. And it turns out, Trump had yet to set his sights on politics and was instead focusing on expanding his New York real estate empire at the time.
But what's even more intriguing is Thompson's speculation about why Trump might have chosen her for a potential date. "I bet he's got people looking for suitable people he could take out in public," she mused, suggesting that the Republican politician was perhaps searching for a high-profile companion – or even just a nice face to show off on his arm.
Thompson, an outspoken advocate for various causes and a self-proclaimed stalwart of the Labour party, also couldn't resist a dig at Trump's dating habits. "A nice divorcee," she wryly observed, tongue firmly in cheek. "I think that's what he was looking for."
It's worth noting that Thompson has always been unapologetically vocal about her politics and has even led high-profile campaigns on issues like climate change and nature conservation. Last year, she rallied thousands of people in London as part of the Restore Nature Now march, an initiative aimed at pushing politicians to prioritize environmental protection.
Thompson's candid account of Trump's overture serves as a reminder that even in the world of politics and showbiz, nothing is ever as it seems – or perhaps just too predictable. And if Thompson had indeed accepted that dinner invitation, who knows? Maybe we'd be living in an alternate reality where America was ruled by a certain Hollywood actress with a penchant for politics.
For now, however, we can only marvel at the sheer audacity of Trump's request and Thompson's gracious (albeit firm) response. And as for the former President? Well, it seems he might have missed his chance to change history – but who knows? Maybe there are other suitable divorcees out there waiting to be wooed...
