Kevin Spacey, the actor, stated he is living out of suitcases and is currently a nightclub singer in Cyprus while trying to move past a scandal that has kept him away from Hollywood for nearly a decade.
Spacey’s Current Situation
In an interview with The Telegraph, 66-year-old Spacey mentioned that his financial condition is “not great” and he is staying in hotels and Airbnbs after losing his Baltimore home to foreclosure. He expressed, “I literally have no home.”
Spacey spoke to the British publication while performing in Cyprus, far removed from the Hollywood fame he once enjoyed. He has faced significant challenges to his career since actor Anthony Rapp accused him of making an unwanted sexual advance in 1986.
Responses to Allegations
While a jury sided with Spacey in Rapp’s civil case, other accusations followed. Spacey admitted to being inappropriate at times, stating he was “too handsy” and unaware that his actions were unwanted.
He drew parallels to historical figures affected by Hollywood’s blacklist, noting that it may take one supportive person, like Kirk Douglas, to help him return to the spotlight.
Future Aspirations
Spacey believes a call from a prominent director could revive his career, mentioning the impact of Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino. He remains hopeful, stating, “I believe it’s going to happen.”
Importantly, no court has ever found Spacey guilty of any sexual misconduct. A London court recently acquitted him of sexually assaulting four men, and a Massachusetts prosecutor dropped a past case due to issues with evidence.
