Cannes 2025: Kevin Spacey to be honoured at charity gala
Actor Kevin Spacey, acquitted of sexual assault charges in 2023, will receive a lifetime achievement award on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival in France.
Spacey, star of iconic films like Se7evn and Usual Suspects, and lead of the Netflix political drama series House of Cards, will be feted in a charity gala for his 'artistic brilliance'. He will receive the Award for Excellence in Film and Television by the Better World Fund, reports stated.
There is speculation that Spacey may walk the red carpet during his visit to Cannes. The actor last strolled the French Riviera in 2016.
In 2023, following a lengthy trial, Spacey was found not guilty by a London court of carrying out multiple sex assaults on four men. The court acquitted him of nine charges. However, fresh allegations arose against the actor in the British documentary, Spacey Unmasked. Spacey, however, has denied any wrongdoing.
