Kevin Spacey, once the toast of Tinseltown, has found himself navigating a drastically different landscape. The acclaimed actor, known for his roles in "The Usual Suspects," "L.A. Confidential," and Netflix's "House Of Cards," has admitted to living a transient lifestyle in the wake of sexual assault allegations. In a candid conversation with The Telegraph, Spacey shared how these accusations have reshaped his life and career trajectory.
After accusations first came to light in 2017, starting with actor Anthony Rapp, Spacey was cut loose from several high-profile projects. Netflix famously severed ties, recasting his part in "All The Money In The World" and halting a planned biopic of Gore Vidal. Although Spacey was found not liable and not guilty in subsequent legal proceedings, the damage to his career was undeniable. "I'm living in hotels, I'm living in Airbnbs," Spacey revealed in the interview. "I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain."
“The costs over these last seven years have been astronomical,” Spacey said. “I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”
Despite the trials, Spacey holds onto hope for redemption within the industry. The actor confided that discussions with influential figures might pave the way for his return. "We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work," he stated confidently.
Spacey believes that his comeback hinges on support from a key industry figure: "So, my feeling is if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call Evan [his manager, Evan Lowenstein] tomorrow, it will be over." It's clear that a significant endorsement could be the lifeline Spacey needs to return to the silver screen.
In a city where dreams and reputations can shift as swiftly as the Santa Ana winds, Spacey's journey shows no signs of slowing. As he continues to navigate this rocky chapter, many are watching to see what the next act holds for this embattled star.
