Actor Kevin Spacey says tough financial times following sexual assault allegations against him have left him without a permanent home.
“I live in hotels, I live in Airbnb; I go where the work is. I literally have no home, that's what I'm trying to explain.Spacey told The Telegraph in a recent interview.
Spacey — who used to star in Netflix House of cards and films, including American beauty And The Usual Suspects — described his financial situation as “not very good” due to lack of work.
“Tits costs over the past seven years have been astronomical. I had very few arrivals and everything went away,” Spacey continued.
In 2017, actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey flirted with him at a party in the 1980s when Rapp was underage. Several more accusations followed, but none of them were proven in court.
Civil jury in 2022 discovered that Spacey did not attack Rapp. Spacey was there too found not guilty on a range of sex offenses charges against four men in a London court in 2023.
Netflix quickly dropped Spacey from House of cards however, following allegations that were made in the midst of the #MeToo era. He was later ordered to pay more than $30 million to the production company behind the show for losses they suffered due to his firing.
Spacey has previously spoken out about his financial situation. In an interview with Piers Morgan in 2024, Spacey revealed for the first time that his Baltimore home was foreclosed on due to his financial problems. The actor added through tears that he had millions of dollars in debt.
Actor Kevin Spacey gave an emotional speech to a court in London after being acquitted of sex offences. Four different men accused Spacey of making unwanted sexual advances between the early 2000s and the mid-2010s.
However, Spacey remains optimistic that if a big-name director – someone like Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino – gave him the role, he would be welcomed back into Hollywood.
“I would be incredibly honored and delighted to have this level of talent pick up the phone,” Spacey said. “And I believe that will happen.”
Spacey's latest performances include a one-man show in Cyprus and Tel Aviv that combines songs and stories, as well as several acting roles, including a role in an Italian film. The Man Who Drew God and as the star of the 2024 film Peter Five Eight.
