Star Kevin Spacey defended himself a week before a new documentary was due to be shown, which includes allegations of his past “misleading” behaviour.
Spacey’s statements came in an interview with a former British broadcaster for GB News, Dan Wootton, in anticipation of the documentary “Spacey Unmasked – Spacey as He Really”, on Britain’s Channel 4, next week.
While Spacey acknowledged that he may have acted inappropriately at times, he denied that his behavior was ever illegal.
Spacey was acquitted of sexual assault charges in courts in Britain and the United States.
Spacey said: “I take full responsibility for my past actions, but I will never apologize to anyone who has accused me, or contributed to the rumours.
He said: “I never told anyone that I would help him professionally if he offered me sexual services. , that was it.” Part of their plan, a plan that could always fail, because I wasn’t involved.”
Some actors participated in the documentary by telling what they said were incidents between them and Spacey, including Ruari Cannon and Danny DeLillo.

Cannon claims that Spacey spoke inappropriately to him in 2013, at a press event at the Old Vic Theatre, and Spacey said the allegation was “ridiculous and never happened”.
At the same time, DeLillo claims that the actor pushed Spacey himself in the face while he was sitting at a performance in the same theater, and Spacey said that this accusation was “absolutely disgusting”.
Some accusations were made to Spacey during the interview and he answered them all by saying that he had never committed any illegal behavior.
He said: “Were there times when I was dating some of the people who were on those shows who were in their twenties? There were. Have I ever been with another actor? Yes. out, wasn’t that interested? ” “It’s later?”
Spacey continued: “Maybe it wasn’t my best decision and it’s not something I would do today. But it happened. But it was never illegal, and it never was. it was always said to be illegal.”
Spacey’s defense team issued a pre-emptive statement to air the documentary, saying it was inappropriate to present “unproven allegations”, some of which date back 50 years.
