Just wondered really. I was talking to my brother about House of Cards and how he thinks its not the same. And what a good Actor he is. Then we couldnt remember what he was arrested for and if he was ever up in court. Not much on the internet .

I hope he gets the book thrown at him but going by the law in the states... hmm.

Awful man.

What's the 4am South London incident?

Someting to do with him walking his dog in Hyde Park I think.

He made a statement to the police that he'd been brutally mugged and had his phone stolen by a young man whilst walking his dog in the park at 4:30am in April 2004. He then changed his story a few hours later to getting injured by falling over after chasing the mugger.

It sounded slightly odd. There was a feeling that the facts didn't quite add up. There were hints of there being more to the story by how it was reported and by peoples reactions suggesting they had doubts about it.

I watched a Youtube video of Al Pacino being interviewed by Letterman last night and Spacey came on to do an impression of Pacino. I wondered what had come of the scandal about him, then.

I worked in a gym years ago and he visited while filming locally. The trainers in their very early twenties were full of stories of him trying it on with them.

He's an excellent actor, but it would seem a very, very weird & sinister man.

EachandEveryone · 28/12/2018 12:14

I know I think he was probably just like Frank.

Terfing · 28/12/2018 13:33

The thing is, he is acting so guilty. It's creepy.

SoleBizzz · 29/12/2018 19:25

Magic did you believe their stories?

BitOfFun · 29/12/2018 19:35

He's being taken to court soon, I believe, for groping a fifteen year old boy.

Magicstar1 · 09/01/2019 19:29

@SoleBizzz sorry I’m just seeing this now. I totally believed them. They were just normal lads who were a bit freaked out by his behaviour. This was back in 1998 so before there were rumours around.

It's weird that you're all so vague in the UK. I mean this with no disrespect to you, but it's been regularly reported here in Australia.

I wonder if there's any connections to powerful people in the UK to keep his charges quieter there...
