Kevin Spacey has confessed to “touching someone sexually” when the person didn’t want him to.
The 64-year-old House of Cards actor said he once touched someone in a sexual manner when they didn’t consent. However, he said he was unaware at the time that the individual didn’t want him to do so.
Spacey admitted being “too handsy” in the past and “pushing the boundaries” during his 90-minute interview with Piers Morgan on the broadcaster’s Uncensored TalkTV show, which aired on Tuesday night (June 11).

Spacey was previously accused of sexually assaulting four men between 2001 and 2013 but last year was found not guilty of all charges. However, he is due to stand trial again over a lawsuit by another main claiming Spacey sexually assaulted him.
The actor, who denies all allegations, admitted wrongdoing when Piers asked about what “bad behaviour” he had previously committed. Morgan asked the actor: “What do you mean by that? [bad behaviour]”.
Spacey replied: “Pushing the boundaries. Being too handsy, touching someone sexually in a way that I didn’t know at the time they didn’t want”.
Piers replied: “Some people would say that is criminal, that if you grope people in a sexual way against their wishes, that that is a crime.” Spacey replied: “I agree that the word ‘grope’ is a very odd word.”
He went on: “I personally, I have caressed people, I have been gentle with people, that is the way that I am. 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’re going to respond positively. I think the word itself is not a word that I associate with my experience”.
Spacey also broke down in tears during the interview. The actor grew emotional when discussing losing his Baltimore home and owing “many millions” in legal fees.
