Actor Emma Thompson has revealed that she was once asked out on a date by the current President of the United States, Donald Trump, and she told him to ‘f**k off.”
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, Thompson said: “He asked me out once. I could have changed the course of history! I was in my trailer and the phone rang - no one had every rung it nor had I ever used it. I had assumed it didn’t work. It was Donald Trump on the other end - I thought someone was having a laugh so told him to f**k off.”
To which, Trump replied, “Come and stay in one of my apartments and maybe we could have dinner.” I didn’t know what to say. I was absolutely astounded because how did he get the number that even I didn’t have. I said I would get back to him but I never did.”

“In so many ways I wish I had because I could have ruffled his hair and we would then all have known the truth! And maybe he wouldn’t have been president,” she said.
