Emma Thompson Reveals Donald Trump’s Post-Divorce Call at Locarno Film Festival

Veteran actress Emma Thompson has made a surprising revelation, recounting how former President Donald Trump contacted her shortly after her divorce was finalized. Thompson shared the anecdote during a Q&A panel at the 78th annual Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland on Saturday, August 9th, where she received the prestigious Leopard Club Award.

During the ‘Conversation with Emma Thompson’ session, the star of ‘Sense and Sensibility’ recalled receiving an unexpected phone call in her trailer while filming Mike Nichols’ 1998 movie, ‘Primary Colors.’ Thompson initially believed the call was a prank when the caller introduced himself as Donald Trump. She soon realized, however, that Trump was inviting her to stay at one of his properties and suggested dinner.

Thompson speculated that Trump had discovered her divorce papers had just come through, leading her to believe he was actively seeking a ‘nice divorcee.’ She described the incident as ‘stalking,’ noting how he managed to obtain her private trailer number. Thompson humorously concluded her story by pondering, “I could have changed the course of American history,” had she accepted the invitation.

The discussion also touched upon the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which coincided with the filming of ‘Primary Colors,’ a satirical drama about a presidential campaign. Thompson expressed sympathy for Monica Lewinsky, adding a poignant reflection on how ‘a nice sex scandal’ seemed simpler in retrospect compared to current events.
