Kevin Spacey‘s career as he knows it — and as we’ve known it — is over. In the wake of sexual harassment and assault allegations, he’s been yanked from the sixth season of “House Of Cards,” his Oscar campaign for the upcoming “All The Money In The World” has been nixed and the film’s AFI premiere has been canceled. Now, another story has emerged about the actor’s behavior, this time from the set of the summer hit “Baby Driver.”
Jon Bernthal recently stopped by Sirius XM to speak with Jim Norton and Sam Roberts, and revealed that Spacey openly pushed some boundaries during the making of Edgar Wright‘s film.
“Going onto that set and working with him [Spacey], I wasn’t there much, and I wasn’t really in a situation to judge, but when I was there, he really rubbed me the wrong way,” Bernthal said. “I thought he was a bit of a bully. I didn’t really care for the way he was behaving toward the other people on set.”
While he didn’t come right out and say it, Bernthal suggested that Spacey’s behavior had inklings of being sexually motivated, and it certainly left him uncomfortable. “He was acting toward people, in a way that I remember at the time thinking, ‘Man, if that were a woman he was talking to, I would’ve done something, I would’ve said something,’ ” he said.
The behavior was enough to make it an unpleasant shoot for Bernthal, who added that he lost all respect for Spacey as a result. No response yet from Spacey or Wright. See the full interview below. [Decider]
