While even during his marriages the politician is alleged to have been engaged in extra-marital affairs, there were ample times when he managed to land dates with several now-famous celebrities and figures.

One of the many well-known figures he is known to have dated is the Emmy-winning actress, Candice Bergen. In several appearances and interviews, theMurphy Brownstar recalled her teenage years when she landed a blind date with the now Presidential candidate Trump.

Bergen being Bergen has detailed this several times, revealing how both of them were teenagers and in college around that time. In an interview withHarry Connick, Jr., the actress remarked of the time,
I was 18. He was a nice-looking guy, I mean, he was. And I was in college, and it’s where he was going to be going to college… It was like a blind date. He called me in the dorm. I was bored.

Bergen was enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania at that time, where Trump was also aspiring to be a student. While she eventually left the institute to pursue modeling and acting, her paths did cross with Trump. In another appearance onWatch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, when asked if she found him appealing in any way, she remarked,
He was a good-looking guy . . . and a douche.

While Trump himself has never remarked about their date, it is nonetheless an interesting piece of tidbit from history. Even more so when we consider how the actress went on to reveal the former president’s eccentric sense of style.

While talking to Harry Connick, Jr., she revealed the details of her rendezvous,
He picked me up, he was wearing a burgundy three-piece suit, with burgundy patent leather boots, and he was in a burgundy limousine…it was very color coordinated and I was home by nine.

A shocking reveal, the actress in another interview withPEOPLE, remarked she might even be wrong about the former president’s eccentric dressing style.
I’ve started to mistrust my memory because it was such a brilliant description and I thought, ‘He can’t have been wearing that,’ and yet, he could.

As funny as it seems, Bergen in another appearance onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert, compared her date with Trump to her date with Henry Kissinger and named Kissinger as the better date when asked by Colbert to pick one.
