Emma Thompson says Donald Trump Stalked her on ‘Primary Colors’ Set

Emma Thompson shared a striking story this morning, recalling a creepy encounter with the 47th U.S. President, Donald Trump.

On Aug. 9 at the Locarno Film Festival, where she was a guest of honor, she talked about Trump’s drama.

Speaking to a packed audience for a career Q&A, Thompson was asked about shooting the 1998 Mike Nichols feature Primary Colors.

While sitting in her trailer, Thompson recalled that one day on the film’s set, her phone rang.

“It was Donald Trump. He said, ‘Hello, this is Donald Trump.’” Thompson said. “I thought it was a joke and asked, ‘How can I help you? Maybe he needed directions from someone.’”

Thompson remembered Trump offering to have dinner at his place.

“And then he said, ‘I’d love you to come and stay at one of my beautiful places. Maybe we could have dinner,’” she continued. “I said, well, that’s very sweet. Thank you so much. I’ll get back to you.”

Thompson, imitating Trump’s voice, said she was confused at first about why the former Apprentice host called her or how he found her phone number.

“I realized that on that day, my divorce decree had come through,” Thompson said. “And I bet he’s got people looking for suitable people he could take out on his arm. You know, a nice divorcée—that’s what he was looking for. And he found the number in my trailer. I mean, that’s stalking.”

Thompson teasingly said, “I could have gone on a date with Donald Trump, and then I would have a story to tell. I could have changed the course of American history.”
