Emma Thompson revealed at the Locarno Film Festival that Donald Trump once asked her on a date. The call, which Thompson initially dismissed as a prank, led to an invitation to one of Trump's properties for dinner. Thompson recounted the anecdote while discussing her career, which spans comedic roles (including political satire) to acclaimed dramatic parts in films like "Howards End" and "The Remains of the Day." She also reflected on her recent roles, including her performance in "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande," which explores female sexuality and aging.
