“I really think we should date, because you’re America’s sweetheart and I’m America’s richest man, and the people would love it,” said Donald Trump, the president of USA, asking actress and model Brooke Shields out. Although that was years before Trump's presidential run. The 52-year-old actress revealed the news on Tuesday’s broadcast of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
When Cohen revealed a photo of Trump talking with Shields at an event in 1992, Shields dropped the news that the president once called her with a pitch to ask her out on a date after he got divorced from his second wife, Marla Maples. She remembered the cringe-worthy interaction well.
“I was on location during a movie, and he called me right after he had gotten a divorce,”- added Brook. And her response was to that, -“I have a boyfriend; he’s really not gonna be happy about it.”
Earlier this year, Emma Thompson revealed in an interview that Donald Trump once asked her out on a date via phone call to her movie-set trailer. The Oscar winner politely declined his offer, but last month, she told Vanity Fair’s Krista Smith that had she accepted she could have changed the current course of history.
Shields and Thompson aren’t the only A-listers who have dodged romantic encounters with the tweeter in chief. In an interview with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show over the summer, Salma Hayek said the president asked her out when she was at an event with her boyfriend.
Soon, Hayek got a call from Trump with a proposal to go on a date. And again Trump got rejected as Hayek was in a relationship.
