Dame Emma Thompson has shared a jaw-dropping revelation about a near-romantic encounter with former US President Donald Trump – a potential date that never materialised due to her personal circumstances at the time.
The Oscar-winning actress disclosed that Trump once attempted to woo her, extending an invitation that could have led to a romantic liaison. However, Thompson’s recent divorce made her hesitant to pursue any new relationships.
'I was freshly divorced and not in the right headspace,' Thompson admitted, reflecting on the unexpected proposition. 'The idea of dating anyone, let alone someone like him, was far from my mind.'
The Love Actually star didn’t delve into specifics about how or when Trump made his advances, but her candid confession has sparked intrigue among fans and critics alike.
Why Emma Thompson Said No
Thompson, known for her sharp wit and outspoken nature, suggested that her emotional state post-divorce played a significant role in turning down the offer. 'Divorce changes you,' she remarked. 'It makes you reassess what you truly want – and what you don’t.'
Her comments have since gone viral, with many praising her honesty while others expressed disbelief at the unlikely pairing.
A History of Bold Statements
This isn’t the first time Thompson has made headlines for her unfiltered opinions. The actress has never shied away from political commentary, particularly when it comes to Trump’s presidency.
In previous interviews, she has criticised his policies and leadership style, making her latest revelation all the more surprising.
Whether this near-miss romantic encounter would have altered their dynamic remains one of Hollywood’s most intriguing 'what ifs.'
