As Thompson tells it, one day she was in her trailer when the phone rang. "I look at it and it's like weird, like a moose has entered," she joked. "I lift up the phone [and hear] 'Hi, it's Donald Trump here.' I say 'Really? Can I help you?,' and he says 'I wonder if I can offer you some accommodation in one of my Trump Towers, they're really comfortable?'

Thompson, who is now married to English actor and producer Greg Wise, said after asking the now-President why he was offering her somewhere to stay, Trump responded: "Why you know, I think we would get on very well. Maybe we could have dinner some time?"

"I didn't know what to do with myself," the Saving Mr Banks actress admitted. "I was on my own and just said 'Um, OK, I'll get back to you. Thank you so much for the offer'." After recovering from the shock revelation, the SVT joked that Thompson could be the first lady. "You could have stopped him," added one of the guests.

2. She is wonderful.

He probably wanted to "wiretapp" her.

Saving Mr. Banks has become one of my favorite movies.
