Kevin Spacey has fired back at Guy Pearce after the latter claimed he was “targeted” by Spacey while filming L.A. Confidential. In a video posted on X, Spacey dismissed Pearce’s claims as exaggerated and questioned why he went public instead of addressing the matter privately.
“We worked together a long time ago; if I did something that upset you, you could’ve reached out to me,” Spacey said. “But instead, you decided to speak to the press… You really want to know my response? Grow up.”

Pearce’s comments, made in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, described Spacey as “quite aggressive” on set. While Pearce acknowledged that his experience was minor compared to other accusations against Spacey, he said he felt singled out during filming.
Spacey pushed back, noting that Pearce later visited him on the set of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil in Savannah, Georgia. “That doesn’t sound like someone who was uncomfortable around me,” he argued.
The House of Cards actor also questioned why Pearce was making these claims nearly 30 years later. He challenged him to discuss the issue live on X, stating, “I’ve got nothing to hide.”
Despite multiple legal battles since 2017, Spacey has been acquitted in several high-profile cases. However, he remains largely absent from Hollywood, with industry figures like Sharon Stone and Brian Cox calling for his return.
