Kevin Spacey is telling The Telegraph that he is basically homeless after his Hollywood career got destroyed by various sexual assault allegations.
“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs,” the two-time Oscar winner said. “I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain… The costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”
Spacey had told Piers Morgan, back in June 2024, that his home in Baltimore was going into foreclosure because he “owed millions” in legal fees due to various sexual assault claims against him: “I’m not sure where I am going to live now.”
Spacey goes on to tell The Telegraph that he’s currently “in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work,” and that “it will happen in its right time.”
He’s also still waiting on that phone call from Martin Scorsese and/or Quentin Tarantino:
So, my feeling is if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call [my manager, Evan Lowenstein] tomorrow, it will be over. I will be incredibly honored and delighted when that level of talent picks up the phone.
Spacey spoke to the outlet while taking a break from singing standards at a nightclub in Cyprus. He’s currently on a small international tour. Yes — in between starring in Italian-financed films, Spacey is also performing as a nightclub singer.
Although Spacey appears to have emerged from multiple legal wins, Hollywood still isn’t willing to hire him. His name has been tarnished. These days, for many in the industry, once you’re accused, it’s very hard to escape that shadow, even if the allegations turn out to be false or unwarranted. Whether Spacey is guilty or not, it doesn’t seem to matter.
Last year, a handful of Hollywood actors, including Liam Neeson, Sharon Stone, F. Murray Abraham, and Stephen Fry, came out in Spacey’s defense, stating that he deserved a comeback in Hollywood. That campaign, however, clearly didn’t succeed. Spacey seems to still be persona non grata, his comeback vehicles have all been financed outside the Hollywood sandbox, mostly with Italian money.
Spacey was once considered one of the great living actors, with career highlights including marquee roles in “American Beauty,” “The Usual Suspects,” “Se7en,” “Glengarry Glen Ross,” “L.A. Confidential,” “The Negotiator,” and “House of Cards.”
