Kevin Spacey said he has no permanent home and is “living in hotels” eight years after his Hollywood career came to a halt following sexual misconduct allegations against him.
In an interview with the U.K.’s Telegraph newspaper on Wednesday, November 19, Spacey said he lost his home in Baltimore, Maryland, where he lived for 12 years, “because the costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”
In October 2017, actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey, 66, of making an unwanted sexual advance toward him in 1986, when Rapp was 14. Spacey was subsequently dropped from Netflix’s House of Cards and other projects. In 2022, the Oscar winner was found not liable in a $40 million sexual assault lawsuit brought against him by Rapp. The following year, Spacey was cleared by a jury of all charges in a U.K. sexual assault trial related to allegations by four men.
In Wednesday’s interview with the Telegraph, Spacey described his financial situation as “not great,” adding, “I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs, I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain.”
“You get through it. In weird ways, I feel I’m back to where I first started, which is I just went where the work was,” he continued. “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.”
The two-time Oscar winner expressed hope that he will one day turn his fortunes around by returning to Hollywood.
“We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work,” Spacey said. “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.”
“So, my feeling is if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call [manager] Evan [Lowenstein] tomorrow, it will be over. I will be incredibly honored and delighted when that level of talent picks up the phone,” he added elsewhere in the interview.
Kevin Spacey leaned on the words of Elton John during a passionate speech at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. During a Tuesday, May 20, Cannes ceremony that saw Spacey, 65, awarded a lifetime achievement award, the actor took to the stage to relay his thoughts and appreciation, with his words captured via an X video […]
In the meantime, Spacey is starring in a one-man show, Kevin Spacey: Songs & Stories, which he recently performed in Cyprus, as he starts up his career again.
“The last seven years have offered me a lot of opportunity to reflect and be reminded of what I’m grateful for, and the people in my life,” he explained. “So the idea of combining stories on some level, along with music, and in many cases music that I’ve never done before, songs I’ve never sung, but I’ve wanted to – maybe in the shower, but never on a stage. So it just sort of happened when I wanted to see, can I get up and sing for my supper again?”
Stars including Sharon Stone and Liam Neeson have previously supported Spacey being welcomed back into Hollywood.
“I can’t wait to see Kevin back at work. He is a genius. He is so elegant and fun, generous to a fault and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will,” Stone told the Telegraph in 2024.
