Kevin Spacey has admitted to being "too handsy" in the past in a new interview with Piers Morgan, addressing allegations of inappropriate behavior that led to a halt in his career in 2017. The 64-year-old actor acknowledged that he had crossed boundaries by touching someone sexually without realizing they did not want it, but he denied using forceful behavior. Despite being cleared of sexual assault charges in both the UK and the US, Spacey is currently facing a civil trial over an allegation from 2008. Responding to new claims in a Channel 4 documentary, Spacey denied allegations made by actors Ruari Cannon and Danny De Lillo. However, Hollywood stars such as Sharon Stone have expressed support for Spacey's return to acting. The actor himself stated he is willing to take accountability for his past actions, but also believes that many claims made against him are false.
