5 Celebrities Who Donald Trump Reportedly Tried To Hit On And Failed
When Brooke Shields was a guest on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” on Tuesday, she decided to share a little story that involved President Donald Trump.
The model opened up about how President Trump had asked her on a date many, many years ago and she rejected him. She went on to explain why exactly she said no.
Though Shields is the most recent famous face to discuss rejecting the advances of President Trump, she’s definitely not the first. Check out this list of other celebrities who denied the former reality star after he allegedly hit on them.
Brooke Shields
“I was on location doing a movie and he called me right after he had gotten a divorce,” Shields told host Andy Cohen on the talk show of Trump asking her out.
“And he said, ‘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,’” the 52-year-old recalled.
But Shields didn’t quite agree and explained that she had a boyfriend and he wouldn’t be happy about that.
Emma Thompson
The British actress was inside of her trailer on the set of her 1998 film “Primary Colors” when she get a phone call from Trump himself out of the blue.
Thompson sat down on the Swedish talk show “Skavlan” where she relayed the story of how Trump then began to put the moves on her.
“I lift up the phone. ‘Hi, it’s Donald Trump here.’ I said, ‘Really? Can I help you?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, I just, you know, I wondered if I could offer you some accommodation in one of my Trump Towers. They’re really comfortable,’” Thompson told the host and the show’s guests.
She then recalled asking him why he was giving her this offer, to which he replied: “‘Well, I think we would get along very well, maybe have dinner sometime.’”
She told him she’d get back to him before hanging up and never calling him back.
Candice Bergen
As a guest on “Watch What Hapepens Live With Andy Cohen,” the actress shared that she had once gone on a date with Trump when they were both students at University of Pennsylvania.
“He was wearing a three-piece burgundy suit and burgundy patent leather loafers in a burgundy limousine,” she told Cohen of when Trump picked her up for their date.
Apparently matching his attire with his limousine didn’t impress Bergen as the date was a quick one.
“I was home very early. There was no physical contact whatsoever,” she said. “He was a good-looking guy, and a douche.”
Salma Hayek
The 51-year-old actress opened up on “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah” about the time she turned Trump down. It all started when Trump sat behind Hayek at an event and put his coat on her shoulders when he noticed she was cold.
“I turn around and my boyfriend, so charming, so nice, he said hello [to Trump],” she told host Trevor Noah. “[Trump] said, ‘I’m sorry, your girlfriend, I saw she was cold.’ And then he kept talking to my boyfriend.”
After speaking with the then-couple for a while, Trump asked them both for their phone numbers to invite them to visit his Atlantic City hotel. He never ended up calling Hayek’s boyfriend, but did call her.
“He’s inviting me out, and I’m like, ‘What about my boyfriend? Am I crazy? Are you asking me out? You know I have a boyfriend,’” she said.
To which Hayek claimed Trump responded with: “‘He’s not good enough for you. He’s not important, he’s not big enough for you. You have to go out with me.’”
Though she had a boyfriend, she told Trump that she wouldn’t go on a date with him even if she wasn’t in a relationship, according to her interview with BuzzFeed.
Princess Diana
Selina Scott, a former BBC journalist, wrote in a column for the U.K. newspaper The Sunday Times that Trump sent tried to get Princess Diana’s attention with flowers after her 1996 divorce from Prince Charles.
“Trump clearly saw Diana as the ultimate trophy wife,” Scott wrote, according to People. “As the roses and orchids piled up at her apartment, she became increasingly concerned about what she should do. It had begun to feel as if Trump was stalking her.”
In the end, though, Scott said nothing ever happened between Princess Diana and Trump, noting that Princess Diana had told Scott that Trump gave her the “creeps.”
