Guy Pearce Reflects on Troubling Experiences with Kevin Spacey

In a recent interview on The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast, Guy Pearce opened up about his uncomfortable experiences with Kevin Spacey while filming L.A. Confidential. Pearce described feeling targeted by Spacey's aggressive behavior and admitted to being scared during their interactions, though he emphasized that he was not sexually assaulted. Reflecting on the impact of these encounters, Pearce shared that he had a significant emotional response when allegations against Spacey surfaced during the #MeToo movement. This marks the first time Pearce has discussed his experiences in depth, expressing regret about initially downplaying the seriousness of the situation. While acknowledging his discomfort, Pearce carefully noted that he did not consider himself a victim in the same way others have been affected by sexual predators. He remains Oscar-nominated for his role in The Brutalist, which showcases his continued success in the film industry.
