Cox defends 'friend' Spacey

Brian Cox has come out in fierce support of his "old friend" Kevin Spacey, arguing that the downfall of his career should never have happened.

Once one of the most recognisable faces and names in Hollywood, the former House of Cards star, 65, was exiled from the industry in 2017 after actor Anthony Rapp accused him of sexually abusing him in 1986. Spacey would have been 26 at the time, while Rapp was 14.

Rapp’s allegations were later dismissed by a Manhattan court in 2022. Spacey has since faced several more allegations of sexual misconduct over the years, all of which he has either denied or insisted were consensual.

Addressing Spacey’s controversies in a new interview with the i, Cox, who co-starred with the Oscar-winning actor in the 1994 sports adventure
