Kevin Spacey continues to chart his Hollywood comeback with an appearance at the Tashkent International Film Festival in Uzbekistan, where he revealed he had suffered a health scare, initially reported as a possible heart attack, while staying in the city of Samarkand. “Mr. Spacey was taken to a medical center over health concerns,” a source told The Sun. “He was treated professionally by doctors and staff and found to have no problem with his heart.”
Spacey himself also spoke about the event while giving a speech to close the festival. “I was looking at these extraordinary murals on the walls, and I suddenly felt my entire left arm go numb for about eight seconds,” he said (per Entertainment Weekly). “Now, everything turned out to be completely normal, and I am of course grateful that it’s not anything more serious.”
According to the festival’s website, Spacey said he “was pleasantly surprised that Samarkand has such qualified doctors.” He went on to say that the scare “also made me really take a moment and think to myself how fragile life is for all of us, and how important it is that we come together, that we support each other, that we do what we can for the next generation.”
Spacey was recently found not guilty of sexual assault in a U.K. court regarding the accusations of four men over a period from 2001 to 2013. Some of those accusations stemmed from Spacey’s tenure at the Old Vic Theater, which uncovered at least 20 different allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior towards men within its community. Though mainstream Hollywood (minus Elton John) has largely shunned the actor, he has maintained his innocence. According to TMZ, earlier in the week at the festival he proclaimed that “his best roles were still to come.”

While I don’t wish him death, I gotta wonder how he managed to have a high number of victims and still get away with the sexual assault? Does the U.K. have a high bar to get over before sexual assault is actually addressed?
Um, he was found not guilty in the US as well. And the last time I checked, allegations have to deliver proof before you can convict. I haven’t been able to watch anything with him in it since the allegations came out, and even AFTER being found not guilty on both sides of the Pond, I still can’t. He was my favorite actor since the Murder of Mary Fagan, with Jack Lemmon, I watched every movie he was in. But I was abused many times by different people, so it was a punch in the gut for me.
That being said, again, he was found not guilty. Until he’s convicted, deal with it.
I hope the gerbil’s okay.
A. Bummer. B. fuck the S*N it’s literal toilet paper and the fact that you cite them as a source is a joke.
Ah well, there’s always next time.
Spacey’s big in Uzbekistan!
