Kevin Spacey has insisted he is not homeless after comments he made in an interview about ‘living in Airbnbs and hotels’ prompted the speculation.
‘In light of the recent articles claiming I am homeless, I feel the need to respond,’ he posted to his Instagram on Sunday. ‘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.’
‘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 also 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.’
The clarification came after Spacey told The Telegraph that he lost his house and is now ‘living in Airbnbs and hotels’.

He told the publication: ‘The costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.
‘You get through it. In weird ways, I feel I’m back to where I first started, which is I just went where the work was. Everything is in storage, and I hope at some point, if things continue to improve, that I’ll be able to decide where I want to settle down again.
‘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.’
Asked what his financial situation is he replied: ‘Not great’, but added that in terms of bankruptcy, ‘it never got to that point’.
Just two years ago, the actor was cleared of sexual assault allegations against four men during a UK trial in 2023.
He has since struggled to get work and has passionately spoken out about his ‘cancellation’ in Hollywood.
At the time of the allegations he was living in Baltimore, Maryland, where he had been based for 12 years.
Since 2017, more than 30 men accused the two-time Oscar-winning actor of sexual assault or inappropriate behaviour, which led to Netflix axing his role on House of Cards. He denied all allegations.
In July 2023, the American Beauty star was found not guilty of assaulting four men after a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, in one of the UK’s most high-profile #MeToo trials.
He has since been preparing to sing in a big band at a Cyprus resort in an ambitious bid to claw back his showbusiness career.
This week the disgraced Hollywood outcast performed for one night at the Parklane Luxury Collection Resort in Limassol, Cyprus.
