Kevin Spacey Tells Guy Pearce to ‘Grow Up,’ Denies Claim He ‘Targeted’ Actor

Kevin Spacey told Guy Pearce to 'grow up' after the latter said his 'L.A. Confidential' co-star 'targeted' him while making the 1997 movie.

Pearce has not leveled any specific allegations against Spacey, though in a 2018 interview, he called the actor a “handsy guy.” More recently, on the Awards Chatter podcast, Pearce said, “Even though I probably was a victim to a degree, I was certainly not a victim by any means to the extent that other people have been to sexual predators… I was young and susceptible, and he targeted me, no question.” In a video posted on X Tuesday, Feb. 18, Spacey responded, saying, “We worked together a long time ago.
