Notable actor winner of an Oscar reveals that Donald Trump proposed to her on the day her divorce was finalized.
In 1998, during the filming of the movie Primary Colors, two-time Oscar-winner Emma Thompson received an unexpected call from a certain individual - Donald Trump. The encounter, which occurred on the very day Thompson's divorce from actor Kenneth Branagh was finalised, left a lasting impression on the acclaimed actress.
Trump, apparently, had found Thompson's number in her trailer and called to invite her for dinner at one of his "beautiful places." Thompson, initially believing it to be a prank, responded politely but declined the offer, joking that she might have "changed the course of American history" if she had accepted.
Thompson later recounted this humorous anecdote at a film festival with a touch of irony, highlighting an unusual moment in her career but no documented lasting impact on her public life beyond her own humorous reflection.
The incident has sparked speculation about what having an actual British dame as the U.S. first lady could have been like. However, no comment was received from the White House regarding this incident.
Emma Thompson has previously shared this story about Trump's invitation, adding that she perceived his actions as "stalking." The article originally appeared on HuffPost.
