Guest bio: Kevin Spacey is a two-time Oscar-winning actor, who starred in Se7en, the Usual Suspects, American Beauty, and House of Cards, creating haunting performances of characters who often embody the dark side of human nature.
This should get an Emmy
That consistent inflection in his voice gives him away that he’s fluffing up another performance. Vought vibes.
He's over acting if you ask me. One of his weakest perforce if you ask me.
Nonsense, he's being honest here. The manairisms are simply a part of his natural theatrical stance, which does not mean, in any way, that he is faking the emotion that he's gesticulating. Emotional intelligence is key, if we're going to to psycho analyse people.
If the man who has a monopoly control of hollywood actors, Ari Emanuel wanted kevin to be a movie star again, kevin would be a movie star. Thats all it takes. Impress Ari Emanuel, and you will be a star. Why is Kevin Spacey telling a story about how he was embarrassed at the evil Nazis, and how much he hated white supremacy, when Kevin is ultimately trying to impress Ari Emanuel enough so that Ari will give him his old job back at endeavor? What kind of name is ARI EMANUEL? ?? You can figure it out. But most people went to public schools in the USA and I have no faith in the systme
i understand its easy to say that when the guy is an actor. its easy to be skeptical with everything weve heard about him. but people cant just say i dont know so they come to conclusions. i personally think who the fuck knows if he's acting or not.
This isn't acting, This stuff was out there by his brother 20 years ago, stop writing stupid comments
I can’t shake the feeling that everything Spacey says is a performance and he doesn’t understand the difference between reality and performance. I love him as an actor, but just don’t trust anything he says.
I think your gut is on point with this one. I feel the same
Get over yourself
Oh I think he knows reality he can just shift between the two very easily. There is a reason he is a great actor. He is literally the character from 7even.
I'm all up for reevaluating after trials but the thing that 2 victim "just died" during the trials was very convenient. I don't think he ordered for them to be killed, I think it was natural. It's just that the trials itself would have turned out differently if not.
holy shxt his dad was literally Chris Coopers character in American Beauty. thats wild
Ever notice how Kevin's best rolels include some form of inappropriate "behaviour"... is he acting
This man is a pure psycho
@@whywhywhy9659 maybe impersonating his dad
I feel so fortunate to have had a mother and father that were truly good, honest and loving parents. I lost dad when I was 24, gratefully mother lived to be 89 and I was 52 when she passed.
Mr.Spacey , I will always have my wonder and doubts about the things that have been said about you, but it isn't my place to judge you, and I will always consider you to be one of the best actors that has ever lived.
lost my dad at 26. Still sucks to this day man...
@@neemaf829 And the thing that is that when you have a great relationship with your dad, it really doesn't get easier. It gets out of the foreground of your thoughts, but when it shows up it still hurts in a very bad place....Bless you.
Well said ❤
Growing up feeling unprotected but also knowing you are loved is a very perplexing dynamic. I know exactly what he’s talking about.
Same here. It's a weird feeling. I got that feeling from my dad. I was like. "I love my father to death" and at other times. "I feel like I'm living with a monster"
Kevin invented this because hes towing the hollywood line. Hitler was bad. he had nazi flags. Why is kevin sublty saying that he hates nazis? Earlier he said he was canceled. He wants his old movie jobs back. Who has the power to put Kevin Spacey in the barbie movie as barbie? Who has the power to put Kevin spacey in Charlies Angels, with Kevin Spacey as one of the angels? That man's name is Ari Emanuel, and he has 90% of all the actors in hollywood signed up to his company endeavor. Ari has a monopoly on managment of actors in hollywood, so when he controls the supply of actors, he can stop a movie from being produced, with his monopoly power of actors. Ari can blackball actors who say things like "Free Palestine" just like he did last summer. Ari can take an actor who showed how the Jews killed Jesus, and make sure he never works in hollywood again. (he has done that, more than once) So Kevin is subtly asking Ari Emanuel for his old job back by basically saying he will say what Ari Emanuel wants to hear. Ari controls 90% of the actors in hollywood. That means Ari Emanuel could cast Kevin Spacey as Snow White in the live action of snow white and the seven dwarves. You literally have no idea how much power that man has.
I know exactly how that feels as well. The old man never said I love you. Worse……he rarely showed any signs of love. Throw in the fact that he was a drunken bully when he would come……….i never wanted to come home. When I did come home I’d go straight to my room. If he was awake, I was in my room. So yeah, I get it.
😂
I remember when I used to think that Mr. Spacey was just very good at "pretending to be" a psychopath.
Now you worship Trump right????
@terrys7666 how many t8mes are you replying to people and mentioning Trump?
You're obsessed.
@@raoulduke344 I just enjoyed talking to the special needs who think he's actually going to change our deep problems 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
@@terrys7666 no, b b b b b Biden 😂
I miss seeing him in movies and shows. He's a great actor and can carry the most tedious movies.
make no mistake: he's a great actor !!
he's really not.when he's playing a psycho or an abuser that's just his real self. When he tries to act nice he's very unbelievable. Also his southern accent sucks
Hand 🖐️ down! Kudos!
Talk about giving the perfect answer to the question.
Rehearsed maybe...?
I'm much the same age as Kevin, most fathers back then were very unloving.
An unfortunate societal problem of that era.
Expect Kevin Spacey uses it as a reason to be a pedophile and rapists and regular people jus got over it
Fantastic acting here
So really he’s the boy in American Beauty, and the boys dad was his dad.
Ricky Fitts
Yeah I said this to my boyfriend yesterday 'I'm sure he played that character in American Beauty'
Did the boy get rapped in American beauty? I'm asking cause Spacey's father rapped his own son, Kevin's older brother.
@@selmahare he obviously graped kevin too and Kevin doesn't want to talk about it. I mean he's basically turned into his father. Gross
Thanks for the show.
"don't listen to a thing he says, he's out of his mind" - I was just thinking the exact same thing.
@@terrys7666 Trump? This is a Kevin Spacey interview.
@@SpontaneousEvolution he’s trying to make something out of nothing. He’s the type that starts something and never finishes basically a natural born loser
Looks like a cultist actor saying anything possible to get back into the cult. Really cringy and pathetic.
He's one of the greatest actors of all time... and this performance is one of his best
It is fantastic to learn vicariously through others self-reflection; this is a very interesting story - thank you for covering this topic.
the great and incredible actor Kevin Spacey, it is always a pleasure to listen.
Do you support other pedophiles and rapists? Or jus those that can act
Loved that quote about human beings and the line of good and evil we fluctuate around throughout life. It really stuck with me 🙏
no such thing as good and evil
This whole interview was an act by spacey
All the world’s a stage and each must play his part.
@@2scary2seehe's calling the dude fake.
@@verballyabusiveclown6290and he doesn't know jack shit
Nope
@@2scary2seelooks like we got ourselves a Bill Shakespeare over here 🤓
Conflicted, but I'm glad for the interview
Nice opening quote from the Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsynski! Pretty much summed up Kevin Spacey!
His quotes on J€wry would make a better start for every AI lex interview. Devastating and why we should all be anti-semites lest we all die under their worldwide super communist state
Fridman quoting Solzenytsen, nice touch.
Nobody can put together a story that well spoken and timed unless it was scripted.
And the Oscar goes to...
Trying to blame his parents for his actions. Not taking responsibility for his own. If he is ever let back into Hollywood... he will do it again, guaranteed! This evil predator belongs in the general population of a California State Penitentiary. Justice served.
Lex, you’re an awesome human being. Plenty of folk want to cancel everyone and anyone - you give everyone the chance to redeem themselves. That, sir, is an act of bravery and love ❤️
Tell us you need therapy without telling us you need therapy good luck bud.
If Kevin really wants this redemption arc all he has to do is come clean about everything he has about epstein
I don't think he's lying but I do feel he's performing a lot.
he's just here to promote his Netflix show
Did lex really not ask about the creepy Christmas videos in character as frank underwood creepily making insinuations to the royal family with that damn commemorative mug?
Ugh, the sucky thing about this guy is his talent. A gift that is so potent that it automatically begs the question of his truthfulness.
He could just be absurdly charismatic…but he could also be trying to fool us.
A."Hey we have this thing where you can talk to the class about a topic as a student and share your knowledge and life experience"
X."This will look great on my resume"
A."What did you say?"
X."Oh nothing, anyways do you think interviewing therapist would be a good idea?"
A."Well your supposed to say that as a single word instead of two but yes I think it is a great idea"
When Mr. Spacey says that he grew up not knowing if his parents loved him, I can relate to that. Sometimes you need someone else to put into words what you've felt your whole life, growing up with bad parents, and how you struggle to reconcile that part of you, that has been terribly hurt but at the same time wants to forgive, to be strong. and overcome, refusing to be a victim and trying with all its might to find an identity. Thank God for my husband and two children. But it has never been easy. Much love to you, Mr. Spacey.
Great interview Lex as always! Conflicted on Spacey. Him like a lot of actors seem to lay it on thick in interviews and sound fake. A lot lost their personalities a long time ago and have trouble being genuine. That is very apparent in long forum podcasts…His story could be true but it doesn’t sound true.
First Terrance Howard, now this. Rogan and Lex gonna need some therapy soon.
As a son I would NEVER air out my father’s or any of my family members dirty laundry.
He’s talking about the Bowlby attachment theory experiment
I can relate to his experience with his father
It's so fascinating to hear him speak on his father. Acting likely was a defense mechanism for Spacey and probably still is. He takes comfort in being a chameleon, and I suppose to an extent all men wear emotional masks, not to the degree professional actors do. I'm not excusing or forgiving Spacey's actions but they make some sense now.
I don't believe this story. I think it'd an act to show he's a good guy.
@@raoulduke344what? Spacey’s father being a neo Nazi has been known for years before this interview
His brother confirmed all this years ago
Hold up. Let’s put some respect on technical writers 😂
He’s a good actor, I’ll give him that lol
Very moving.
Hi kind person. can you help me with donation ?
Acting
For the other pedophiles?
Read Martha Stout's "The sociopath next door". I'll concede that Kevin seems awfully sincere. He is an actual psychopath. His personality meets the criteria for the dark triad 10x over. This is an act. I promise you.
@@johnpeterson9266or M.E. Thomas
HE F*caked up, he turned to the other camera for a better angle, corrected his self, then did again. He can’t help himself, makes him look guilty asf.
This explains alot (Spacey's interpretation of his fathers legacy)
I’m kinda digging the 5 o’clock shadow on your face Lex. It’s a good look for you.
Looks really good!!
don't encourage him. Hes russian, so next show he will show up with an addidas track suit, some gold chains, waving around a fifth of vodka, and talking about how stalin was justified in killing 50 million russians to hold the USSR together.
thanks
Kevin can be so captivating, he knows how to tell a tale
Thank you Sir
He was good in movies
No way…. Really?!? Kevin was in movies?!?
What's the name of the psychological experiment he's talking about at the end?
Hilarious thumbnail
Good actor. No one talking about Epstein or the claims or the mysterious deaths. Let’s talk about dad
Press X to doubt
Ok, nobody is that good of an ctor in real life, people. It's not a script. He's sincere.
You must not have seen House of Cards
He had many takes, rehearsals to try his stuff out during filming of that show. Sometimes it doesn't work, even for oscar-winning actors. Don't be delusional. Spacey is just a man, not a magical creature
I worked with actors for years. This entire interview, start to finish, is an act by Spacey. Of course there is genuine pain in there, he's using that to bring an audience along. I'd be afraid to be in a room with this guy.
Yet you will go hard for Trump. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@SpontaneousEvolution what is your plan Karen? Start the hate speech en negativity like always just because that’s the only thing you’re good in! FO human creepers! Do something about the terrible vibe you people always seem to dwell in! In the new world you won’t come far with that! 👋🏼 ✌🏼
We love you Kev ❤ please make another movie soon, just Fund it yourself and produce/direct it lol
Took that Beast of Thumbnail a step too far there Mr. Fridman IMHO.
Pretty easy to see who’s backing Fridman.
I know Kevin is canceled but it's awesome I can still get this Oscar worthy acting performances in every interview on youtube! BTW, I've read up on his Dad. Kevins father was notorious for graping his brother and molesting him. I think Kevin walked away from his family a little like his Dad.
not sure I can buy his take
If you look closely, he is acting. Human beings don't communicate the way he is, here. Only in movies. Every inflection, every pause, every hand gesture, all the body language, it's all performance.
A great actor. And he is always acting. ACTING (snl reference)
He says I and me a lot
Feel like you can feel the sympathy for Kevin he misses the job.
Something about this conversation, particularly this specific point with his father, I don’t know, it just doesn’t feel genuine. Trying to figure out if there is a kernel or two of truth somewhere in there or if it’s just all nonsense.
When you realise that someone is deceiving you, it’s very hard to accept anything they say as genuine ever again.. and even if you can, you will always know that you’ve already been fooled by this person, and therefore very reluctant to be fooled again… unless you want to be fooled
His brother confirmed all that years ago. Spacey's brother
What happened on that island
I always was a fan of Kevin for as long as I can remember
I feel that's he's a sensitive man and sensitive people tend to hurt the most
I relate to so much of what he said about his own parents
except the genders are reversed
my mom is the hateful, racist bigot and my dad excuses her because he's not confrontational
Interesting. Growing up can be so far out there, you make your therapist cry. Life goes on.
Does Lex have like a special agreement with TH-cam, cause he is the only one allowed to put big swas***as in the thumbnail and nothing happens lol
It’s like he’s auditioning for a role.
How can you tell if a good actor is performing to please the audience or telling the
truth about themselves?
Spacey trying to be engaging while telling a story = being insincere apparently
He’s the greatest actor of his generation, what do you expect him to sound like?
this kind of things make think lex is a MF psy-op
The only person who would have a rapist and pedophile on
Hmm maybe
Too much hate in the comments not enough love. Never convicted should mean something.
Jimmy Saville was never convicted.
Yeah and OJ Simpson was a saint.
This guy is shaming his own father to try to piece together his own career that fell apart because of se*ual assault. Love is not deserved Buddy, but skepticism is warranted and justified unless you're a cult member.
@@TB-ni4ur you clearly aren't Christian
@@DapperCracker512 oj.... Did he play for Louisiana?
Spacey should write a book about growing up with his father and that should be made into a movie.
Produced by Weinstein. Now that he's out!!! Directed by Roman Polanski!
Special feature by Diddy!
Bring back the Ol' drty hollywood.
He was rehearsing for his comeback “ Daddy Dearest”. I thought he was just acting.
@@senthilvelan7490 Weinstein is still in prison for his Los Angeles convictions, it was only his NY convictions that were overturned.
@@mackthnife3 No. you don't understand something. Why was he talking about how bad moustache man was and talking about how he wanted to be uncanceled? You saw an interview of Frank Underwood here, a real master of his craft, and Im about to break it down.Frank underwood wants to be back in hollywood. The one person in hollywood who can cast Frank Underwood as Carrie Bradshaw in the next sex in the city... the one person who can do that is Ari Emanuel. Ari is the CEO of endeavor, the monopoly power in hollywood. He manages 90% or more of all the actors, so if ari doesn't want a movie made, well, you get no name actors. If someone makes a movie that ARI EMANUEL doens't like, say, a movie about the passion of Christ, how the Jews killed Jesus, then the people in that movie don't get any good movies for the rest of their lives. Look at the name ARI EMANUEL and tell me if anything pops into your brain. Anyhoo, the reason frank underwood talks about how much he hates the NAZI's and how evil they are, is because this is a subtle calling card to get Ari Emanuel's attention and ask for his old job back. I love Kevin Spacey, this isnt' a dirty thing to do, hes is a broken hollywood system, and has to say stupid crap like this to get back into the Jew's good graces. Ari controls endeavor, and endeavor controls the actors. So Ari could cast Frank Underwood as Spiderman's new girlfriend, with Danny Devito as spiderman. This guy controls hollywood.
@@davidanalyst671 dude it’s a shame you spent so much time writing your lengthy defense of Spacey. First I’ve never seen House of Cards. Second I spent my whole professional life helping forensically inclined ( mostly s@x ahu$e) individuals. I do like Kevin spacey in some of his movies.
However it dosent change my observation of his affect as being a person trying to manipulate a narrative. I have sat for countless hours talking to men who uses all the tricks Kevin was using to minimize or deny their level of responsibility in their wrong doings. Kevin really hit the mark….
Still, he’s the best President the USA has ever had.
I like spacey
Even though he's a creep?
@@endwigast5212yeah like you don't try to bang people
I love how everybody clicks on this video and then cries in the comment section about this man who was found innocent in a court of law and they don't want to have anything to do with this guy and don't believe this guy but yet they still click the video and cry in the comment section. Get over it he didn't touch you And he was found innocent in a court of law fucking twice.
"Mooooooooom, people online are making fun of my favorite Hollywood superstar actor in the comments section and it's making me angry!"
Court of law definitely never gets it wrong when it comes to people with wealth. lol it’s honestly weird you’re defending a man you’ve never and will never meet. You know nothing about this guy and what he’s really like
He's a perv and you're White-knighting for him.
Make better decisions.
He wasn't found innocent. Do your homework. He was acquitted. From the legally pursued accusation. So the dozens more have not been addressed. If you fell for this weepy performance, it's too late.
@@am7373 I don't worship celebrities just think everyone should honestly grow up and move on. I understand how mainstream works and what happened to him it could happen to anyone people should have a bit of compassion. take care and have a great day hopefully you never get Accused of something and then publicly raped over the coals Losing your job your livelihood and your passion.
Is he performing 24/7?
that's fuckin brutal
We just need to know what he done at Epstein island.
We all know you're jealous you didn't get to visit Epstein Island!!
@@Oksid007thanks captain obvious
Yes everyone that went to the island had sex with a minor, they aren’t releasing the list, and they’ll never bust them all, and they will let us forget, moving on
@@Oksid007there is evidence ole Billy was there a lot, but no evidence that Trump has been there (at least that I’ve seen).
@@Oksid007Trump isn't on any flight records.
Performance or not, it was moving.
SO HE WAS MOLESTED BY HIS DAD
He doe’s wants to get to Kapax !
This all seems so insincere
“Hey your am accused sex offender. What do you think about the gulag archipelago?”
I know BPD when I see it
Kaiser Soze!!!!!
Why did he interview this creep
This is cleary a rehearsed speech.
He isn't actually a good actor
YT shadowbanning all your Spacey content :/
Nah it appeared in my recommended. No idea who Lex is but I watch a lot of videos about books and true crime. This was great.
No. It was recommended to me.
YT and Lex have that in common, they're totally fine promoting a known rapist and friend of Epstein.
Imagine giving Kevin Spacey the time of day.
I love how lex has no balls
How is that?
I always suspected Lex was a Unic…
Edit: Eunuch 🫣🫠
Just like the Trump supporters. 😂😂😂😂😂 I love you tards 😂😂😂😂😂
Eunuch
@@jeffjacobson59 lmao thanks I took a shot and missed 😂🥹
Watched a bunch of these shorter clips from the interview and he comes across to me as disingenuous.
He seems like he’s constantly, or more precisely hiding his true identity.
Greta actor unfortunately
This almost makes me forgive his sexual predation
He was acquitted
This is the kind of interview that draws criticism of Lex, by guys like Gad Saad.
“Love is the way”
Spacey is acting like a pro actor. This hasn’t influenced me one bit about him. And Lex, this is supposed to be an interview, not a softball game.
I'm sure Gad was a huge fan of his interview with Netanyahu though, just a hunch
@@VColossalV I didn’t see the Bibi interview. I don’t get ur point. Are you making a Jewish type symmetry reference?
If so, nice try. I’m talking about Lex and his illusory narrative that he resurrected from an old Beatles Album. “Love is all ya need” ( plus a black belt in Jiu Jitsu)🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t care who the subject is. He probably was soft on Bibi.
@@mackthnife3 Well, I suppose the point would be that Gad Saad might suddenly not care too much about how Lex approaches interviews with controversial people the moment it's someone like Netanyahu, even though it's the same exact approach. Soft balls the entire time with very few difficult questions. Suddenly there's no problem with it.
@@VColossalV Lex is a frustrated love child who just happens to know jiu jitsu….lol…
It seems obvious that you are making a side line, irrelevant, criticism of Bibi, Gad and Lex all being Jewish.
I choose to not engage in such BS.
I won’t politicize two incongruent narratives.
I have already stated that Lex gives softball interviews to everybody because of his “ love is the way” orientation. The buck stops there.
@@mackthnife3 If that's what you extracted from that then this is the main issue with any form of criticism of Netanyahu or Israel, you simply can't do it without being called an anti-semite. I'm merely pointing out that Gad Saad is all in on criticizing Lex when he softballs someone he doesn't like, but when it's another controversial figure he *does* like he's totally fine with it. Lesson being that he's not exactly the most objective person to bring up here, turns out he's fine with softballs under the right conditions.
that got dark.
This dude is acting in this interview .....this is a bad guy 100%
So, what did he do wrong? 🤔
He is openly gay and was accused of using his position to sexually harass various people that either work for him or he worked with all the accusations that were in lawsuits that were against him came to nothing + it was kind of controversial in the business. He was basically not working for many years and wouldn't get hired because it seemed like to many in the Hollywood that he was. You know bad person for the things that he was accused of doing. In the end nothing ever came of any of those lawsuits. You has quitted and found not guilty and all the charges that were against him
