Kevin Spacey to Make Surprise Appearance in Cannes to Accept a Lifetime Achievement Award (EXCLUSIVE)

But having been found not liable in a civil lawsuit in New York in 2022 and acquitted in a criminal case in London the following year, the actor is now heading back to Cannes, where he’s due to arrive on Sunday.
