Kevin Spacey has spoken out on his supposed 'homelessness' following a recent interview that's been making a buzz online.
In an article published in The Telegraph on November 19, Spacey discussed what he's currently up to career-wise and reflected on the last few years since people came forward with sexual misconduct accusations relating to the House of Cards star.
In July 2023, he was acquitted in a UK court of all charges he was facing. A year prior, a jury found Spacey not guilty of sexual assault and battery in a civil lawsuit launched by one of his accusers, Anthony Rapp.
"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," Spacey told The Telegraph of his life since the accusations.

He also spoke of losing his house as a result of the 'astronomical' costs he's faced.
"I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out," Spacey candidly revealed.
Opening up about his living situation, he continued to share: "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."
The remarks about his apparent 'homelessness' quickly made world news, but Spacey has since clarified what he meant.
In an Instagram video shared on Sunday (November 23), Spacey said: "Thousands of people have reached out over the past few days offering me a place to stay or have just asked if I’m okay. And to all of you, I am truly touched by your generosity full stop."
He went on: "I feel it would be disingenuous to allow you to believe I am indeed homeless in the colloquial sense.
"I said I was basically living in hotels and Airbnbs and going where the work is, just as I did when I first started out in this business.
"I’ve been working nearly nonstop this entire year and, for that, I have so much to be grateful for."
Spacey continued to say that his heart goes out to those who are actually 'living on the streets or in their cars'.
"It's a shame that The Telegraph decided to undermine the work of their own journalist by selling him out with a knowingly misleading headline for the sake of clicks," he added.
UNILAD has approached the newspaper for comment in light of Spacey's remarks.
