Four days after The Telegraph published a story declaring that Kevin Spacey was ‘homeless, cancelled and crooning in Cyprus’ – the 66-year-old actor has decided to set the record straight.
‘I don’t usually make it my business to correct the media. If I did, I wouldn’t have time for much else,’ Spacey – who boasts 7.6M social media followers – said in an Instagram video Sunday.
‘But in light of the recent articles claiming I am homeless, I feel the need to respond. Not to the press, but to the thousands of people who have reached out over the past few days offering me a place to stay or have asked if I’m okay. And to all of you, I am truly touched by your generosity full stop. But I feel it would be disingenuous to allow you to believe I am indeed homeless in the colloquial sense.’
The two-time Oscar winner went on to praise the ‘wonderful journalist Mick Brown’ whom he claimed The Telegraph ‘shamefully’ sold ‘out with a knowingly misleading headline for the sake of clicks.’
‘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 noted.
‘And there are many people, as well all know, who are indeed actually living on the streets or in their cars or are in terrible financial situations, and my heart goes out to them. But it is clear from the article itself that I am not one of them, nor was I attempting to say that I was.’
