Kevin Spacey says the past seven years have left him without a home, scrambling for work, and trying to rebuild both his Finances and his career after a long list of sexual assault Allegations derailed his life.
According to Fox News, during a candid interview with The Telegraph, the 66-year-old actor described a dramatic fall from Hollywood stardom to a life spent drifting from one temporary place to the next.
āThe costs over these last seven years have been astronomical,ā Spacey said. āIāve had very little coming in and everything going out.ā
Spacey, who has recently been performing a live show titled Kevin Spacey: Songs & Stories at a nightclub in Cyprus, said he no longer has a permanent residence.
āIām living in hotels, Iām living in Airbnbs, Iām going where the work is,ā he said. āEverything is in storage, and I hope at some point, if things continue to improve, that Iāll be able to decide where I want to settle down again.ā
āI literally have no home,ā he added.
The actor admitted his financial situation is ānot great,ā revealing he came close to filing for bankruptcy. His representative did not respond to a request for comment.
Spacey was acquitted in July 2023 on all charges involving accusations from four men in the U.K. The verdict followed four weeks of testimony. He had pleaded not guilty to sexual assault, indecent assault, and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
After the jury cleared him, he expressed gratitude for their deliberation.
āIām enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts,ā he said at the time. āI am humbled by the outcome today.ā
Spacey said he believes his career is far from over, claiming he and his manager have been in contact with āextremely powerful peopleā who want to hire him ā but are waiting for the right moment.
āWhat I think the industry seems to be waiting for is to be given permission ā by someone who is in some position of enormous respect and authority,ā he said. āIf Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call Evan tomorrow, it will be over.ā
He added, āI believe itās going to happen.ā
Several high-profile Hollywood names have already come to his defense. After the release of the documentary Spacey Unmasked in the U.K., actors including Sharon Stone and Liam Neeson publicly supported him and called for his return to film.
Stone described Spacey as āa geniusā who is āelegant and fun, generous to a fault.ā Neeson said he was ādeeply saddenedā by the accusations and insisted the industry āneeds him and misses him greatly.ā
Spacey said he is now approaching fame differently, finding a sense of humility in starting over.
āMy relationship with fame is very much changed,ā he said. āPeople are so kind and so generous. Iām walking with my head high⦠nothing to hide.ā
For now, he said, heās focused on the work he can get ā and hoping Hollywood eventually opens its doors again.
