Kevin Spacey recently opened up about his controversial past, admitting in an interview with Piers Morgan on the program Uncensored that he once traveled to Africa with notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, former President Bill Clinton, and a group of “young girls.”
Spacey He was ‘too clever’
The veteran Hollywood star admitted that he had been “crossing the boundaries” and “manipulating too much” in the past.
Despite this revelation, Spacey has denied having any friendship with the infamous deceased sex offender.
The 64-year-old actor explained how he met Epstein during an eight-day humanitarian trip to Africa in 2002, which Clinton invited him to join. “It was mainly to raise awareness and prevention of AIDS, and specifically to get mothers with HIV on medication so they don’t pass the disease on to their children, so I said yes, of course,” Spacey explained.
The trip gained notoriety when flight log records for Epstein’s jet, known as the “Lolita Express”, confirmed that Spacey was among the passengers.

Initially, the House of Cards star denied any connection to Epstein.
He explained to Morgan, “I know now who he is and I’ve been able to go back and find out that the plane that we were flying on for this humanitarian mission was owned by Jeffrey Epstein. I didn’t know him. I never spent any time with him. I was with the Clinton Foundation people, that’s who I was with.”
Spacey added, “I didn’t want to be around this guy because I felt he put the president at risk on that trip to South Africa, because there were some young girls there. We were wondering, ‘Who is this guy?'”
‘There were young girls on those flights’: Spacey
When Morgan asked him about the presence of young girls on the plane, Spacey confirmed, “Yes, there were young girls on those planes.” However, he did not provide any details about the age of the girls on board.
“There’s a big difference between not remembering that I met a man or woman on a humanitarian aid trip where my full attention was on what we were there to do, and not remembering that I went to someone’s island,” he said.
The trip continued to the U.K., where Clinton was invited by former Prime Minister Tony Blair to speak at the Labor Party convention. Spacey explained, “So, we flew to London, and the president said to me, ‘Before I leave tomorrow, do you want to come? I’m going to Buckingham Palace tomorrow to meet Prince Andrew, do you want to come?’ I said, ‘Sure.’”
Notably, The Usual Suspects actor was photographed sitting on the throne room at Buckingham Palace with Epstein’s confidante, Ghislaine Maxwell, during this time. “This Maxwell woman, she was one of many people who sat next to me in that throne room. I have no connection to her. I had no relationship with her [Epstein]”I mean, he’s not my friend. I’m not his confidant. I’ve never spent time with him,” he clarified.
