British actress Emma Thompson (66) revealed that she received a date proposal from Donald Trump (79) 27 years ago.
According to German media Stern and others on the 10th (local time), Emma Thompson stated that during the filming of the movie "Primary Colors" at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, which opened on the 6th, President Trump called her and suggested, "I invite you to stay at one of my beautiful homes. We could have dinner together."
She declined, saying, "That's very kind of you. Thank you. I'll get back to you," and joked, "If I had gone on a date with Trump, it could have changed the course of American history."
However, Emma Thompson described Trump's obtaining the contact information for the filming location as "stalking."
Emma Thompson revealed, "The day Trump contacted me was the day my divorce from actor Kenneth Branagh was finalized, and Trump was also divorced from his second wife, Marla Maples."
At that time, the film "Primary Colors," which Emma Thompson was filming, was inspired by former President Bill Clinton's entry into the White House and his infidelity scandal. Emma Thompson played the role of Susan Stanton, the governor's wife modeled after Hillary Clinton.
Emma Thompson is well-known for her role as Professor Trelawney in the "Harry Potter" series. This year, she received the Leopard Club Award at the Locarno Film Festival, which is equivalent to a lifetime achievement award.
