Kevin Spacey, 66, Says He’s Living in Hotels, Hollywood Comeback Awaits Scorsese or Tarantino Call

Kevin Spacey, the once-celebrated titan of Hollywood, now lives a nomadic life, moving between hotels and Airbnbs with his belongings packed away in storage. The two-time Oscar winner, whose career imploded in 2017 amidst a torrent of sexual misconduct allegations, has revealed the depth of his financial ruin.

Kevin Spacey’s Fall From Grace: Homelessness, Financial Ruin, and the Unlikely Hope for a Hollywood Return

The actor has revealed the depth of his financial ruin, admitting that his Baltimore mansion has been foreclosed on and he is now effectively homeless. In a candid and emotional interview, Kevin Spacey painted a bleak picture of his current reality, a stark contrast to the life of an A-list actor who commanded multi-million dollar paychecks and critical acclaim.

Variety, reported via The Telegraph, that Kevin Spacey said, “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 costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”

The financial toll of his legal battles has been immense. Since the first allegations surfaced, Kevin Spacey has faced court cases in both the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as a costly arbitration award. This financial drain led to the loss of his home of 12 years, a painful symbol of his dramatic fall from grace.

The Sexual Assault Allegations that Halted a Career

The seismic shift in Kevin Spacey’s life began in 2017 when accusations of sexual misconduct came to light. The allegations, which spanned decades and continents, led to his immediate ostracization from Hollywood. He was famously fired from the Netflix hit series “House of Cards” and digitally erased from the film “All the Money in the World.”

Kevin Spacey faced multiple legal challenges. In a high-profile London trial in 2023, he was acquitted of nine charges, including sexual assault, brought by four men. A year earlier, in 2022, he won a civil suit in New York brought by fellow actor Anthony Rapp, who had accused the actor of an unwanted sexual advance in the 1980s.

Despite the acquittals, the damage to his career was absolute. The court of public opinion had rendered its own verdict, and the once-bankable star became persona non grata. The actor who had captivated audiences in films like “The Usual Suspects” and “American Beauty” found himself in a professional wilderness, with work drying up almost overnight.

An Unlikely Comeback?

Despite the dire circumstances, a flicker of hope remains for Kevin Spacey. He believes a return to Hollywood is not just possible, but inevitable. He speaks of powerful industry figures who are quietly working to bring him back into the fold, waiting for the right moment—and the right person—to break the dam of his cancellation.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that the actor said, “We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work.” He believes the industry is waiting for a signal from a revered filmmaker to welcome him back. He added, “So, my feeling is if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call Evan Lowenstein (the actor’s manager) tomorrow, it will be over.”

For now, Kevin Spacey is taking what work he can get, performing a one-man show titled “Kevin Spacey: Songs & Stories” in smaller venues, a humbling return to his roots. “In weird ways, I feel I’m back to where I first started, which is I just went where the work was,” he reflected. Stripped of his wealth and his home, Kevin Spacey faces an uncertain future.

Final Thoughts

For now, Spacey is taking what he can get, performing a one-man show called “Kevin Spacey: Songs & Stories” in places like Cyprus. Whether that phone call from Scorsese or Tarantino ever comes remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the final act of Kevin Spacey’s story has yet to be written.
