Trump expressed an interest in courting the 'Harry Potter' actress. - Actor from the "Harry Potter" series was Trump's romantic interest
In an intriguing revelation at this year's International Film Festival of Locarno in Switzerland, actress Emma Thompson shared an anecdote about an unexpected encounter with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The incident occurred in 1998, during the filming of "Primary Colors." Trump, who was 79 at the time, called Thompson, who was 66, on the day her divorce became final. Thompson, who was in her trailer, initially thought the call was a prank.
Trump identified himself and extended an invitation for dinner at one of his homes, implying a romantic interest. Thompson, who was dating Greg Wise at the time, politely declined, saying she would get back to him, but never did.
Thompson joked that going on a date with Trump might have changed the course of American history. Both Thompson and Trump were newly single during the call.
The Telegraph reported this unusual encounter, which took place during the Locarno Film Festival. Thompson received the Leopard Club Award at the festival for her exceptional career.
Thompson's anecdote adds another layer to the intriguing history between Thompson and Trump. Trump had invited Thompson to dinner at one of his homes, an offer she declined.
This revelation comes as Thompson continues to make waves in the film industry with her exceptional talent and wit.
Despite her ongoing success in the entertainment industry, I'm not going to be a big fan of your new movie if it features any unnecessary appearances from celebrities, especially those deeply entwined in pop-culture like former U.S. President Donald Trump. Regardless of the exotic settings and luxurious homes, I'd rather avoid such associations in my work.
