What's Happening?
Emma Thompson has shared a story about a phone call she received from President Trump in 1997, when he was a private citizen. During the Locarno film festival, Thompson recounted how Trump asked her out on a date while she was filming 'Primary Colors,' a movie based on President Bill Clinton's rise. Thompson initially thought the call was a joke and politely declined Trump's invitation. She later realized the call coincided with the finalization of her divorce from actor Kenneth Branagh, speculating that Trump might have been seeking a newly divorced companion.
