Actor said Trump phoned her to make the offer on the day her divorce from Kenneth Branagh was confirmed in 1998
Emma Thompson has accepted Academy Awards, Baftas and even a damehood over a glittering career, but there was one offer she had to turn down.
The actor says she once got asked out on a date by Donald Trump on the same day her divorced was confirmed.
Thompson said she was in her trailer filming Primary Colors in 1998, a political satire based on Bill Clinton’s presidential rise, when the phone rang.
“It was Donald Trump,” Thompson told an audience at the Locarno film festival in Switzerland, where she received the Leopard Club award for career achievement.
