Guy Pearce has again accused Kevin Spacey of harassing and "stalking" him
Actor Guy Pearce, 57, has revealed that Kevin Spacey, who was "canceled" in Hollywood several years ago for harassment, "harassed" him while working on the film L.A. Confidential.
"He targeted me. I was really scared of Kevin because he's a pretty aggressive guy. He's incredibly charming and really good at what he does: very impressive, keeps the audience on their toes. But I was young and vulnerable," Pearce admitted on The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast.
The allegations did not go unnoticed: 65-year-old Kevin Spacey posted a video on social media X in which he denied the allegations. "Grow up Guy Pearce, you are not a victim. We worked together a long time ago. If I did something that upset you this much, you could have contacted me instead of telling the press. Now they are hounding me for an answer. This is my answer - grow up," Spacey said.
Recall that about 20 people, including colleagues from the series "House of Cards", brought charges against Kevin Spacey, but they failed to prove his guilt. The scandal destroyed his career: Spacey was fired from the series, deprived of an Emmy, and cut from the film "All the Money in the World". He paid the producers of "House of Cards" $32.2 million and sold his mansion for 10.9 million to cover legal costs. In 2023, the court completely acquitted Spacey.
Guy Pearce was recently nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Brutalist. He is also an Emmy Award winner and has been nominated for several Golden Globes.
