Emma Thompson says Donald Trump once asked her out on a pivotal day
People in entertainment Donald Trump FacebookTweetLink Emma Thompson has reshared a story about a phone call she received years ago from President Donald Trump. While attending the Locarno film festival in Switzerland to receive the Leopard Club award, Thompson reportedly talked about the day around 1997, when she says a then-private citizen Trump asked her out on a date. Thompson said she was filming the movie 'Primary Colors' at the time, a film based on the novel by Joe Klein which fictionalized the rise of President Bill Clinton. The phone in her on-set trailer rang, she recalled, and 'it was Donald Trump.' 'I thought it was a joke and asked: 'How can I help you?' Maybe he needed directions from someone,' Thompson told the crowd. 'Then he said: 'I'd love you to come and stay at one of my beautiful places. Maybe we could have dinner,'' Thompson continued. 'I said: 'Well, that's very sweet. Thank you so much. I'll get back to you.'' The 'Love Actually' star said she later realized what day it was. 'I realized my divorce decree had come through that day,' she said. 'I bet he's got people looking for a nice divorcee to take out on his arm.' Thompson had gone through a long divorce from her first husband, actor Kenneth Branagh. The story is one Thompson had shared before. During an appearance on 'The Graham Norton Show' in 2017, she talked to the host about the invite she said she received from Trump years prior. 'I could have changed the course of history,' Thompson joked.

‘Emma Thompson calls Donald Trump a 'stalker'; recalls unexpected dinner invite after her divorce- Read more
Emma Thompson has revealed a rather unexpected moment from her past involving the current US President, Donald Trump . The actress recently shared a surprising story from the late '90s, revealing that Trump once called her out of the blue. Speaking at the 2025 Locarno Film Festival, the 66-year-old actress recalled that it happened while she was filming 'Primary Colors' in 1998, shortly after her divorce from Kenneth Branagh . According to Deadline, Emma recalled, 'He said, 'Hello, this is Donald Trump?' I thought it was a joke and asked, 'How can I help you? Maybe he needed directions from someone." 'And then he said, 'I'd love you to come and stay at one of my beautiful places. Maybe we could have dinner,'' she continued, while imitating Trump's voice. 'I said, well, that's very sweet. Thank you so much. I'll get back to you,' she added. Emma realised the call came on the same day her divorce papers were finalised. She guessed that Trump, who was also newly separated from Marla Maples at the time, might have been looking for a 'nice divorcee' to be seen with. She said, 'I realised that on that day, my divorce decree had come through, and I bet he's got people looking for suitable people he could take out on his arm. You know, a nice divorcee, that's what he was looking for. And he found the number in my trailer. I mean, that's stalking.' Laughing about it now, Emma joked and said, 'I could have gone on a date with Donald Trump, and then I would have a story to tell,' the Love Actually star added. 'I could have changed the course of American history.'

You can see the siblings reunite, albeit not happily, in the video above. 'After a fateful reunion with his family,' the official Season 2 logline reads, 'Dream of the Endless (played by Tom Sturridge) must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds. To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals.

Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series, the second season of The Sandman will tell Dream's story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.' The fantasy drama is based on Neil Gaiman's comic series of the same name. Gaiman, who is an executive producer on the show, has been accused of sexually assaulting multiple women; he denies the allegations. 'I'm far from a perfect person,' he wrote on his blog in January, 'but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever.' The Sandman's cancellation came a few weeks after the allegations against Gaiman were the subject of a New York Magazine story.
