Kevin Spacey was once one of the most respected and successful actors in Hollywood. He was a part of several critically acclaimed and commercially successful films of all time. However, his reputation came crashing down after multiple allegations of assault were made against him by men.
To make matters worse, Spacey came out as gay to justify his actions. He has been blacklisted by the industry ever since. The ‘Seven‘ actor was honored at the National Museum of Cinema in Italy since the charges. Let’s find out more about this.
