Kevin Spacey has admitted to being “skillful” and “pushing the limits” despite being acquitted of sexually assaulting four men last year.
The double Oscar winner said he is now on the brink of bankruptcy due to his multimillion-dollar legal fees and has been forced to sell his Baltimore home (pictured).
“I’m not really sure where I’m going to live now, but I’ve been in Baltimore since we started filming House of Cards there.
‘There have been a couple of times where I thought I was going to apply, but we’ve managed to dodge it, at least until today.
‘I still owe many legal bills that I have not been able to pay.
‘Many millions, yes. The house itself is worth many millions.
When asked by Morgan what he plans to do in the near future, Spacey said, “Get back on the horse.”
He went on to say that he had spoken to a “significant” number of men to personally apologize for his past conduct.
When Morgan asked him what he considered bad behavior, he said, “Push boundaries.”

‘Being too skilled, touching someone sexually in a way you didn’t know at the time you didn’t want. I personally have caressed people, I have been gentle with people, that’s just me.
‘You’re making a pass at someone, you don’t want to be aggressive. You want to be gentle. You want to see if they will respond positively.
‘I am absolutely 150 percent prepared to take responsibility for the things I did and the mistakes I made. “Bad, bad, bad behavior sometimes.”
Spacey was one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood until allegations of sexual misconduct were made in 2017, and streaming giant Netflix cut ties with the actor.
He was accused of abusing his fame and power to carry out nine sexual attacks on four men during his tenure as artistic director of the Old Vic theatre. But he insisted the claims were “crazy” and accused the plaintiffs of “lying for money”.
In July 2023, the actor was dramatically acquitted of sexually assaulting the four men following a high-profile trial at Southwark Crown Court in which Sir Elton John gave evidence in his defence.
After being linked to Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell, and being photographed with the convicted felon during a tour of Buckingham Palace in 2002, Spacey denied ever having been to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s island.
When asked about his friendship with the American, who died in prison in 2019, Spacey said: “He was not my friend.” I’m not a confidant. I’ve never spent time with him.

During his interview with Morgan, Spacey also claimed that he received a message of support from King Charles amid his legal battle.
Spacey smiled as he told Morgan that, although he had not been contacted directly by the 75-year-old monarch, he had “heard a message.”
“And I’m very grateful for that,” he said.
But she quickly shut down the conversation, adding that she “didn’t want to drag him into all of this” while seemingly pointing to the King’s cancer battle, adding: ‘He’s got a lot on his plate and I wish him the best.’
MailOnline has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
Spacey said Charles had supported him since he was appointed artistic director of The Old Vic in 2003, where he would go to see productions at the London theatre.
“We were very fortunate that when he was Prince of Wales he loved The Old Vic, he believed in it… I always felt honored to be able to do what I could for The Prince’s Trust,” he said.
“And I wish you all the best in your health.”
It was Charles who presented Spacey with his honorary CBE in 2010 for his services to theatre, and again in 2016 when he received an honorary knighthood.

Kevin Spacey addresses the media outside Southwark Crown Court after being found not guilty of sexual offenses between 2001 and 2013.
Spacey also addressed his sexuality, on the same day accusations were made against him in 2017, and came out as gay in a statement.
He said: ‘I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and now I choose to live as a gay man.’
Speaking for the first time about his sexuality, Spacey told Morgan: “I was closeted as a man, and I was fiercely closeted for a long time, and now that I’m out, regardless of the fact that I went out at a party. Although this wasn’t the best party of Coming out, I would like to try to be a positive voice for those who are experiencing difficulties accepting themselves and their own lives.’
When asked about his current relationships, his encounter with a partner, and what he had learned, he said, “Well, if I’ve learned anything, I’ve learned that the first step doesn’t have to be physical.”
“So I’m hopeful and I think I’ll be able to find someone who is willing to judge me by what they experience and not by the headlines.”
