Looking at Donald Trump I would have never pegged him as an athlete. This week I found out that my presumption about him was right. Trump’s daughter Ivanka tells “Stuff” magazine in its September issue that her father has always dreamed of being an athlete, but will settle for her dating one.
“He has very strong opinions – which I try not to listen to,” Ivanka tells the magazine. The 24-year-old who holds the title of vice president of real-estate development for the Trump Organization is used to following the advice of her boss (and dad), on business matters only. But, she says, that doesn’t stop him from doling it out anyway. In fact, “The Donald” has repeatedly voiced his opinion on the type of guy he would like to see her with.
“He loves the athletes because he’s always wanted to be an athlete,” Ivanka says. “He’s into guys’ guys. But when he starts talking about it, I stop listening.”
Not unlike many non-celebrity daughters, Ivanka says she likes to take “as long as possible” before introducing her father to a boyfriend. And, contrary to popular belief, she says as far as she knows the elder Trump hasn’t threatened bodily harm to any of the people she’s dated.
In the new “Stuff” magazine interview Ivanka also reveals some of her celebrity crushes-those men she wouldn’t mind bringing home to Dad. “I love Joaquin Phoenix,” she says. “He has a very sexy thing going. I don’t go for the typically handsome guy. Although I love Christian Bale; I think he’s sort of an Adonis.”
As for her current love life, Ivanka admits that she is “not dating” anyone in particular, rather she is content to go out with a group of friends, but she says, “you’re not going to find me dancing on top of tables or see me trashed outside of Bungalow 8.”
Which is a good thing since I heard that Joaquin Phoenix prefers to date girls who are not into the club scene. Perhaps, now that she has made her crush on him public I will soon be blogging on a potential Trump/Phoenix hook up. He may be an actor, but he certainly has the body of an athlete!
