"The Fall of a Giant"/ How Kevin Spacey Ended Up Traveling With Only

For more than 20 years, Kevin Spacey was one of Hollywood's most acclaimed actors. With two Oscars and iconic roles in some of the most important films of modern cinema, he was considered one of the names that set the standard for acting. But just as his rise was spectacular, his fall was dramatic and immediate.

In 2017, at the height of the success of the series "House of Cards," Spacey's name exploded into the center of the #MeToo movement. A series of accusations of inappropriate behavior and sexual harassment transformed the actor from a respected protagonist to an unwanted character in Hollywood.

The industry's reaction was harsh:

Although Spacey was later acquitted of the main charges (in New York in 2022 and in London in 2023), the damage to his public image had already become irreversible. Furthermore, a court ruling forced the actor to pay around $31 million to the producers of House of Cards for breach of contract, a severe blow that significantly affected his financial situation.

As is often the case in Hollywood, his departure was quiet, but not unnoticed. The former red carpet actor moved to smaller stages in Europe and the Middle East. In Limassol, he presented the show “Songs & Stories,” a musical-theatrical performance far from the world of movies where he once ruled.

It was no longer about leading roles, but about an actor trying to regain ground, on an artistic journey far removed from the magnificent career he had built.

A few days ago, Spacey returned to the media spotlight, but this time not for a new role. In an interview with The Telegraph, he said that he "literally has no home," that he lives between hotels, Airbnbs, and that his belongings are scattered in storage.

“I go where the work is,” he said, a phrase that describes more clearly than any analysis the gap between former glory and today's reality.

After numerous reactions, Spacey published a video on Instagram to clarify the situation:

"In light of recent reports claiming I am homeless, I feel the need to respond. Not to the press, but to the thousands of people who have contacted me to offer me a place to stay."

He expressed his gratitude for the public's support, but stressed that his situation should not be misinterpreted:

“It would be misleading to let you think I am truly homeless in the everyday sense of the word.”

What he is experiencing, according to him, is a life in constant motion, dictated by the lack of sustainable projects.
