Kevin Spacey has publicly clarified that he is not homeless, addressing widespread concern after media reports based on a recent interview. In an Instagram video posted on November 23, 2025, he expressed deep gratitude for the thousands of offers of accommodation from supporters but emphasized that he is not in dire financial straits.
Spacey’s clarification came in response to articles stemming from an interview with The Telegraph, where he discussed living in hotels and Airbnbs while pursuing work opportunities. He stated in the video that he felt compelled to respond not to the press, but to the numerous individuals who had reached out with kindness and concern over the past few days. The actor, known for roles in “American Beauty” and “The Usual Suspects,” explained that his current nomadic lifestyle is similar to how he began his career, traveling to where work is available, and he is grateful for the professional engagements he has had this year.
The original interview, conducted by journalist Mick Brown, featured Spacey saying, “I literally have no home,” which led to headlines suggesting he was homeless. In his video, Spacey praised Brown’s journalism but criticized The Telegraph for using a misleading headline that he believed sensationalized his comments for clicks. He underscored that the article itself made it clear he was not claiming to be homeless in the colloquial sense, and he expressed disappointment that the publication undermined its own reporter’s work.
Spacey’s financial situation has been challenging due to legal battles over sexual assault allegations, which he has denied. He faced two trials—one in London in 2023 resulting in a not guilty verdict, and another in the U.S. in 2022 where he was found not liable—and incurred substantial costs over the past seven years. In the Telegraph interview, he described his finances as “not great” and mentioned astronomical expenses, including the foreclosure of his Baltimore condo, though he has disputed the sale in legal proceedings.
Despite these hardships, Spacey remains optimistic about his career prospects, revealing in the interview that he is in contact with influential figures interested in helping him return to work. His clarification aimed to reassure supporters while acknowledging the genuine struggles of those who are truly homeless, such as people living on the streets or in cars. He expressed empathy for their plight and emphasized that his circumstances are not comparable, hoping to redirect attention to more critical issues.
The actor’s message highlights the impact of media framing on public perception and the importance of accurate reporting. The outpouring of support he received reflects a complex public response to his career setbacks, blending sympathy with curiosity about his potential comeback. As Spacey continues to focus on his work, he looks forward to eventually settling down in a permanent home once his situation stabilizes, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity.
