Kevin Spacey is between places at the moment.
With the House of Cards alum returning to the entertainment industry two years after being found not guilty in his sexual misconduct case following a costly legal battle, he shared insight into his life since.
"I'm living in hotels, I'm living in Airbnbs, I'm going where the work is," Spacey told The Telegraph in an interview published Nov. 19. "I literally have no home."
He noted that he lost his Maryland house "because the costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I've had very little coming in and everything going out."
The 66-year-old—who was found not guilty on nine charges by a London jury in 2023—is trying his best to navigate his financial situation while finding his footing in front of crowds once again.
"You get through it," he noted. "In weird ways, I feel I'm back to where I first started, which is I just went where the work was. Everything is in storage, and I hope at some point, if things continue to improve, that I'll be able to decide where I want to settle down again."
And although the two-time Oscar winner didn't file for bankruptcy, he admitted that "it was discussed, but it never got to that point."
In 2017, sexual misconduct allegations were brought forth against Spacey by actor Anthony Rapp, as well as three other accusers from the U.K., in the following weeks. In 2022, a New York jury found Spacey not liable for battery in Rapp's case. A year later, he was found not guilty in London.
But the fallout on his career was swift: Netflix cut ties with him and removed him from the final season of House of Cards.
And although Ridley Scott had already completed filming All the Money in the World with Spacey around that time, he replaced the actor with Charlie Plummer and reshot all the scenes. As the director told Entertainment Weekly in 2017 of the decision, "Sometimes you've got to lay down the law. You have to!"
And now, nearly a decade after the allegations first surfaced, Spacey—who, most recently, performed a variety show in Greece Nov. 15—said he's hoping to return to Hollywood.
"We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work," he told The Telegraph. "And that will happen in its right time. But I will also say what I think the industry seems to be waiting for is to be given permission—by someone who is in some position of enormous respect and authority."
Nonetheless, Spacey has taken his downfall as a learning lesson.
"It's been incredibly positive," he explained. "To have an opportunity to stop, look at my life, ask questions. Why was I such a good villain, why did I fit so well into a narrative that was out there? And some of those were important questions for me to ask, to take accountability for where I made mistakes."
