Emma Thompson revealed at the Locarno Film Festival that Donald Trump called her for a date on the same day her divorce from Kenneth Branagh was finalized in the 1990s. Thompson, initially believing it was a joke, received an invitation to dine at one of Trump's properties. She declined, jokingly suggesting that accepting might have altered American history. The actress speculated that Trump's staff may have been seeking a suitable date for him following his separation from Marla Maples. Thompson is now happily married to Greg Wise.
