Spacey fell from grace in Hollywood after he was faced with allegations of sexual assault and misconduct by more than 30 men.
In 2022, the actor was found not liable in a sexual abuse civil lawsuit in New York.
A year later, he was cleared of sexually assaulting four men following a month-long trial at London’s Southwark Crown Court.
Since then, Spacey has made rare public appearances, including at the Better World Fund’s gala dinner in Cannes earlier this year.
