Kevin Spacey is very selective
Kevin Spacey doesn't want to "start showing up and doing the same thing over and over", which makes him be very cautious with the roles he'll accept in the future.
He has had an illustrious career in the entertainment industry.
Being 54 years old - during his career, he has had several notable roles on the big-screen and won two Oscars for his roles in 'The Usual Suspects' (1995) and 'American Beauty' (1999). The conclusion is that he is very aware of things regarding the movie business.
It turns out it's unlikely he'll be returning to Hollywood anytime soon.
"Unless it's Martin Scorsese, and it's a really significant role, f--k off", he told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview. "I'm not playing someone's brother. I'm not playing the station manager. I'm not playing the FCC chairman".
Now it's not sure what he'll do next, despite his success over time.
He explains: "People thought I was crazy 11 years ago when I moved to London and started a theater company. What is he doing? He's out of his mind. People thought we were crazy when we made the Netflix deal for House of Cards. <They're out of their minds, it'll never work>. I'm used to people thinking I'm nuts. And you know what? I kind of love it".
The unpredictable star moved permanently to London, to avoid falling in the trap of starring in the same sort of movie over and over.
"I remember having lots of very serious conversations with my mother about where I was at this particular point and just going: Which is: <Hey, now I'm on the list, I'm going to be in all these movies and get paid all this money>. It was absolutely unappealing to me to end up in a lot of movies I shouldn't do, to start showing up and doing the same thing over and over. I was already suffering from . <He's always the dark character>. People love to box us in and I wasn't going to be boxed. I decided I was going to f--k with it".
