Actor Kevin Spacey, an Oscar winner who once was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood thanks to hits such as “L.A. Confidential,” “The Usual Suspects” and “Se7en,” says he’s now homeless.
Spacey’s career was derailed in 2017 when he was accused of sexual assault by several men. He was acquitted in 2023 by a jury in London. In 2022, he was found not liable in a civil lawsuit, Entertainment Weekly reports.
However, the jury’s verdict did not revive his Hollywood career and he tells The Telegraph that he was near bankruptcy. He was forced to sell his home in Baltimore.
EW reports Spacey has been working on smaller movie productions and also has a variety show in Cyprus.
“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs, I’m going where the work is,” Spacey, 66, said. “I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain.”
He says in the interview that he believes the public still supports him, even if Hollywood doesn’t. But he also admits to making mistakes in the past.
“Why was I such a good villain, why did I fit so well into a narrative that was out there?” he said. “And some of those were important questions for me to ask, to take accountability for where I made mistakes.
“I suppose when I look back, I wish I had spoken out sooner and allowed my voice to be heard more,” he said. “Even though I tried not to be a jerk, I think that to some degree I always was a jerk, because people were stopping and I always had somewhere to go, and I think I was always putting people in lanes – he wants this, she wants that, something from me. But now my relationship with fame is very much changed.”
