down discussion of his private life :
Spacey, whose only permanent home is in London, fiercely guards
his private life. In fact, his affable demeanor shuts off the moment
he is asked about it. This might date back to a 1997 Esquire profile
that infamously suggested Spacey was gay. He later denied the
characterization, and his agency at the time, William Morris,
vehemently discouraged its clients from cooperating with the
publication."Let's let people live their lives and do it the way they
want to do it," he says now. "All the chips will fall in the end, and
we'll all be judged by a much higher power than Entertainment
Weekly can."
This is consistent with what Spacey has said for years. In 2010 in
an interview with Kevin Sessums, Spacey suggested that asking him
he's gay is a form of bullying, adding :
"I don't live a lie. You have to understand that people who choose
not to discuss their personal lives are not living a lie. That is a
presumption that people jump t...I am different than some people
would like me to be. I just don't buy into that the personal can be
political. I just think that's horseshit. No one's personal life is in the
public interest. It's gossip, bottom line. End of story. Now some
people feed that. They'll go to the trendy restaurants where all the
photographers are and then bitch about being famous. But if you
don't want to feed that and you want your life to be based around
what your work is then it ends there."
