IMAGINE, IF YOU will, a completely different universe. One in which the universally beloved actress Emma Thompson was going out with the not-quite-so universally beloved Donald Trump. Sounds wild, but it could have happened.
Thompson was on a Swedish TV show talking about her role in Beauty and the Beast yesterday when the topic of Donald Trump came up.
No one was expecting her to say these words: ”He asked me out once. You wanna hear?” Yes Emma. Spill the beans with haste.

She explained that she had been filming the 1998 drama Primary Colors with John Travolta, and her divorce from Kenneth Branagh had just been finalised.

One day, the phone rang in her trailer:
I lift up the phone. “Hi, it’s Donald Trump here.” I said, “Really? Can I help you?” He said, “I wonder if I could offer you some accommodation in one of my Trump Towers, they’re really comfortable. I think we would get on very well, maybe we can have dinner some time.”
“I think we would get on very well.” That Trumpian confidence! How could you resist?
Thompson said that she “didn’t know what to do” with herself, and just said, “Erm, I’ll get back to you.” She never did get back to him, unfortunately.

Does she regret not meeting him now? Erm, yes, a bit.
I wish I had, think of the stories.
It is most definitely for the best, but can you imagine how badass Emma Thompson would be as a First Lady? No, never mind. Emma Thompson for PRESIDENT.
