Emma Thompson, the acclaimed actress, recently shared an intriguing story about Donald Trump. It happened back in 1998, right after her divorce from Kenneth Branagh.

The Unexpected Call

Trump called her out of the blue while she was working on the set of "Primary Colors." At first, she thought it was a prank. But no, it was really him.

"He invited her to stay at one of his resorts and have dinner together."

Thompson found it odd, especially since he called her on the set's phone instead of a personal number. She saw it as a bit creepy, almost like stalking. She politely declined the offer.

The Timing

Later, she realized something interesting. Trump called her on the very day her divorce was finalized. She wondered if he had someone checking court records for eligible divorcees to date. It's a bit unsettling to think about, right?

A Change in American Politics?

Thompson joked that if she had said yes, she might have changed the course of American politics. It's a funny thought, but also a bit weird.

"The movie 'Primary Colors' is based on Bill Clinton's presidential run, so it's ironic that Trump called her during that time."

Trump's Dating Habits

Trump was known for dating many famous and beautiful women between marriages. He was often seen with models in New York. But Thompson's story adds a different perspective to his dating habits.
