Kevin Spacey Christmas Video: Is He Coming Back To 'House Of Cards'?

Actor Kevin Spacey, who has been lying low ever since the felony sexual assault case against him was dropped in July, took to YouTube to surprise his fans on Christmas eve. And, well, it was rather creepy...

“You didn’t really think I was going to miss the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas, did you?” said Spacey in the video, on Tuesday. While it was surprising, this isn’t a one-off thing—Spacey posted a similar video on Christmas last year. The 60-year-old actor who sparked rumors fuelling a possible return to the “House Of Cards” egged fans on to embrace civility and kindness going forward.

“The next time someone does something you don’t like, you can go on the attack,” Spacey said. “But you can also hold your fire and do the unexpected. You can kill them with kindness,” he added.

Not too long ago, Spacey had addressed speculations in the year 2018—where he hinted at the controversy he was embroiled in, and the killing of his character in the popular Netflix show. “Despite all the poppycock, the animosity, the headlines, the impeachment without a trial. Despite everything,” he said in 2018. "Despite even my own death, I feel surprisingly good and my confidence grows each day that soon enough you will know the full truth.”

Things spiraled out of control after “Rent” actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of forcing himself upon him. Rapp alleged that Spacey climbed on top of him in a bedroom at a party in New York, in the year 1986.

While the “House of Cards” actor refused to remember anything of that sort, he did publicly apologize “for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior.” The incident also opened up a can of worms—after a former anchor revealed that the openly gay actor made inappropriate advances at her son, and went on to grope him at a bar in Nantucket Massachusetts when he was 18.

The case was dropped when Spacey's accuser invoked his Fifth Amendment rights upon being questioned about his role in deleting text messages from a phone key to the case.
