Trump's vulgar sex comments caught on tape
Donald Trump bragged about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a wireless microphone according to a video obtained by The Washington Post. Warning: explicit language
Appearing on Sweden's broadcaster SVT, when speaking about Trump, Thompson said: "He asked me out once. You want to hear?"
She had been in the US filming the 1998 release of Primary Colors - ironically, a film that focuses on the White House and was inspired by Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential race. She was newly divorced from Kenneth Branagh, to whom she was married from 1989 to 1995.
"The phone rings in my trailer, which it's never done before, so it's like a moose had just entered my trailer," Thompson said.
"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 could have dinner some time?'
"I didn't know what to do with myself. I was on my own and I just said, 'Erm, I'll get back to you.'"
Trump was married to his second wife, Marla Maples, from December 1993, separating in May 1997. He is currently married to his third wife Melania Trump.
Thompson is now married to actor and producer Greg Wise.
