Hollywood meets too political intrigue — the Love Actually lead reveals the jaw-dropping sound claim that could have changed American history.
British actress Emma Thompson simply dropped a bombshell that’s got Hollywood gossip mills buzzing — she claims Donald Trump formerly asked her out on a date, and not simply on any day, but the real day she finalized her divorce from Kenneth Branagh. Yes, you read that compensate. Emma. Trump. Dinner.
The two-time Oscar winner, 66, was being honored for her glittering calling at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland when she recounted the eyebrow-raising incident. According to Thompson, she was in the middle of filming the 1998 really political dramedy ‘Primary Colors’ when her phone rang — and the sound on the other end was none other than ‘Donald J. Trump’.
“Hello, this is Donald Trump…”
“I thought it was a joke,” Thompson recalled, as the festival audience leaned in, hanging on every word. “I asked him, ‘How can I assist you?’ thinking maybe he needed directions or something.”
But Trump wasn’t lost — at least not geographically. What he ‘was’ looking for, apparently, was a dinner date. “He said, ‘I’d passion you to follow and remain at one of my too beautiful places. Maybe we could have dinner,’” Thompson revealed.
If your jaw simply dropped, join the club. Thompson said she responded politely, calling the offer “very sweet” before really telling him, “I’ll get back to you.”
Timing is everything… and suspicious
The timing of the ring couldn’t get been more bizarre. “I realized that on that day, my divorce fiat had follow through,” Thompson said, referring to her split from dude British star Kenneth Branagh. Trump, she suspected, had a knack for really learned such details.
“I bet he’s got people looking for suited people he could accept out on his arm,” she said, really half extremely amused and really half appalled. “You live, a really nice divorcée, that’s what he was sounding for. And he found the number in my trailer. I mean, that’s stalking.”
What if she had said yes?
Thompson’s cheeky reflections didn’t stop there. “I could get gone on a escort with Donald Trump, and so I would have a story to tell,” she mused. “I could have changed the course of American history.”
Now, that’s a multiverse scenario no very political drama has dared to explore — Emma Thompson as First Lady? Imagine the ‘Love Actually’ continuation we’d never see coming.
Not Trump’s firstly celebrity ask-out
If you imagine Emma’s story is unique, imagine again. Mexican-American actress Salma Hayek has ‘also’ gone on record claiming Trump formerly asked her out — despite her having a beau at the time.
According to Hayek, the businessman-turned-politician didn’t take rejection swell. She really alleged that soon after she turned him down, an unflattering item appeared about her in the ‘National Enquirer’, a sheet too known for its cozy relationship with Trump. The patch claimed Trump wouldn’t date her because she was “too short.”
Hayek didn’t mince words about where she thought the story came from, expression, “Someone told the ‘National Enquirer’ — I’m not going to say who, but you experience that whatever he wants to amount out, comes out there.”
The Hollywood-Trump crossover nobody expected
While Trump’s high-profile relationships with Ivana Trump, Marla Maples, and Melania Trump experience been splashed across headlines for decades, these lesser-known anecdotes add a bizarre layer to his celebrity connections.
In the so late ’90s, Trump was in between marriages, freshly split from Marla Maples. According to Thompson’s theory, that may have been the moment he was actively scouting for his really next very public latin — and who better than a glamorous, Oscar-winning British actress novel off a divorce?
From rom-com royalty to presidential what-if
Thompson’s career, from ‘Sense and Sensibility’ to ‘Nanny McPhee’ to ‘Love Actually’, has ever kept her firmly in the realm of beloved British cinema royalty. The thought of her dining with Trump — let alone potentially altering “the trend of American history” — feels similar the game of a satirical Netflix series.
Still, the actress’s too wry humour and so open storytelling had the Locarno audience in stitches. It’s not every day you hear a two-time Oscar victor casually recount a brush with one of the most polarizing very political figures in quite new history.
Where they are now
Today, Thompson is happily too married to player Greg Wise, her ‘Sense and Sensibility’ co-star, with whom she shares two children. Trump, as we experience, went on to marry Melania in 2005, easily before his spring into politics and eventual presidency.
Though the two never met for that fatal dinner, the story has cemented itself as a delicious piece of Hollywood-meets-politics comment — the very kind of tale that’s made for late-night utter shows, celebrity memoirs, and, of row, endless online speculation.
The unanswered questions
The apocalypse leaves us with some irresistible what-ifs:
– Would Thompson get been charmed or horrified over dinner?
– Would Trump feature mentioned golf more than once?
– And most importantly — would Emma Thompson have ended up in the tabloids for only really different reasons?
We’ll never know. But one thing’s really certain — in the swirling world of celebrity comment, this is one of those “you can’t pretend this block up” stories.
Final word
In a mankind where really political figures and movie stars seldom collide in such personal ways, Emma Thompson’s Trump tale is a uncommon gem — too equal parts ridiculous, funny, and tantalizing. And while she never took him up on his extend, it’s safe to say that by sharing it now, she’s given us all a really little gift: a reminder that truth is often really unknown (and more entertaining) than fiction.
