Kevin Spacey Fowler is 62 years old.

What is Kevin Spacey's net worth?

The actor has amassed quite a fortune during his long career.

He is worth an estimated £70 million.

This is through his movie, TV and theatre work.

What has Kevin Spacey been charged with?

On May 26, 2022, Spacey, who denied all allegations against him, has been charged with sexual offences between 2005 and 2013 in London and Gloucestershire.

Head of the CPS Special Crime Division, Rosemary Ainslie said: ‘The CPS has authorised criminal charges against Kevin Spacey, 62, for four counts of sexual assault against three men.

"He has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. The charges follow a review of the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police in its investigation.

"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr Spacey are active and that he has the right to a fair trial."

This comes after it was reported that the actor was interviewed by the police in 2019 but wasn't arrested.

He spoke to officers about a number of allegations between 1996 and 2013 in London and Gloucester.

A spokeswoman for the Met Police at the time said: "In May 2019, a man was voluntarily interviewed under caution in America, by officers from the Met's Complex Case Team.

"He was not arrested. Inquiries are ongoing."

London's Old Vic theatre, where Spacey was an artistic director from 2004 to 2015, apologised as it revealed it had received allegations of inappropriate behaviour.

The theatre bosses said a "cult of personality" had contributed to the organisation’s failings.

Spacey continued to deny all allegations against him and the final US criminal case was closed in July 2019.

But police in London decided to launch their own investigation over the sexual harassment claims during the star's time at the Old Vic.

Spacey was stripped of an International Emmy Award in the wake of the allegations and his character in House of Cards was killed off.
