Kevin Spacey pleasured himself while watching the bloody Normandy landing scene in Saving Private Ryan, his former actor friend has alleged in a bombshell Channel 4 documentary.
Throughout Spacey Unmasked, which aired tonight, an aspiring actor – referred to only by his first name Scott – claimed the unnerving incident happen in 1998 at a cinema where the Oscar award winning film was playing.
Spacey has repeatedly denied all allegations that have been made against him and ahead of the documentary, which sees 10 men make allegations against the fallen Hollywood star, blasted the new claims as ‘ridiculous’ and ‘completely offensive’.
Last year the American Beauty and House of Cards actor, 64, was found not guilty of nine sexual offences made against him by four men who were in their 20s and 30s between 2004 and 2013.
The famous actor, who sobbed at the dock as his verdict was delivered, went on to add that he ‘never told someone that if they give me sexual favours, then I will help them out with their career, ever’.
In tonight’s shocking documentary, however, several men within the film industry have brought fresh allegations to light about the Hollywood celebrity.
Scott said he was initially ‘over the moon’ when he met Spacey at a gig at The Viper Room just off West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. At the time Scott was an aspiring actor, working in post-production.

Throughout Spacey Unmasked, which aired tonight, an aspiring actor – referred to only by his first name Scott – claimed the unnerving incident happen in 1998 at a cinema where the Oscar award winning film was playing
‘For me, he was just on such a pedestal. I’m not going to lie, I was starstruck,’ he said.
At that time, Spacey was at the height of his stardom, having won an Academy Awards for best supporting actor in 1995 for his role as Roger ‘Verbal’ Kint in The Usual Suspects.
Scott said the pair ‘hit it off’ straight away, with the film producer telling Spacey of his work on the heartbreaking war film Saving Private Ryan and his own experience working in the US Marines.
He alleges Spacey then asked for his headshot and resume adding that there was a possibility the film giant and film school graduate could work together at some point in the future.
The pair went on to a party at a mansion in the Hollywood Hills yet Scott, who had been at the gathering with his girlfriend, said there was an ‘energy shift’ when Spacey asked the budding actor to see a home cinema.
‘That’s when I started to feel the energy shift a little bit. And he was like, ‘Can I have a hug?’ And I was like, ‘huh, okay, guess that’s an LA thing’,’ Scott alleged in the documentary.
‘So I go in to give him a quick bro hug, and he just gets me in this bear grip, and he’s kind of rubbing his whiskey face in my neck, kind of grinding into me, like humping me.’
Scott said the actor tried to reassure him telling him things were okay before telling him not to ‘freak out’. The alleged incident is said to have left Scott feeling confused and ‘shaky’.
At a later point, the aspiring actor said he was ‘nursing a hangover’ when he received a call from an unknown number. He recognised the voice ‘immediately’ as Spacey who asked if he wanted to discuss headshots.
The pair met on a street near to a cinema where Saving Private Ryan was playing. Spacey allegedly said ‘hey, it’s your movie we should go see it’ and so the pair decided to watch the viewing.
Scott said he had an ‘intuition that this thing could go sideways’ but was ‘very much under the impression that [he] was in control’.
‘Kevin grabbed a seat, way up high, very hidden, very private,’ he recalled.

‘And we’re watching the movie, first 20 minutes of the invasion of Normandy, it’s shockingly horrific. There’s a guy picking up his arm, and people are on fire, and people are just dying in really the most horrible ways you can die.
‘All of a sudden, I just saw some activity happening next to me and I kind of glance over and Kevin’s just pleasuring himself. You know, some of the most horrific war footage ever recreated, and like, there’s no way that this is happening.
‘This guy is rubbing one out during the invasion of Normandy?’
Scott then accused Spacey of reaching over, grabbing his hand and tries to get him to ‘help out’. ‘I was like, “no”. It was crazy,’ he said.
Ahead of the documentary, Spacey hit out at the ‘Saving Private Ryan guy’ on social media questioning why Scott had allegedly reached out to him again 2011 asking for work if he was ‘so turned off’ by what he claimed the actor did.
The actor said: ‘Well, this is interesting… “Contributor #3” (Saving Private Ryan guy) said we met at the Viper Room in 1998.
‘If this guy was so turned off by everything he claims I did, why is he still chasing me 13 years later? (See email from 2011)
‘Does this mean everything he said is untrue? Of course not. But it’s important that ALL the facts be presented.’

He went on to question if the email had been included in Scott’s story throughout the documentary.
The email said to have been sent to Spacey from Scott in 2011 read: ‘Hey bro! I hope things are going well with your play and I’m glad we were able to catch up when you were in LA.
‘I just came across a news article for A Captain’s Duty that said you guys were looking for military veterans.
‘I’d love to get in on this film, like we talked about after the play and I’m really glad you guys chose to hire vets, it makes a huge difference in so many ways.
‘You can check out my new reel here. Thanks for keeping me in mind, I really hope we can get together again soon and catch up.’
Other allegations made throughout the documentary include that he groped a 21-year-old man, pushed his groin into the face of an employee and placed his hands on the genitals of a fellow actor on the House of Cards set.
Spacey has argued that he was ‘provided with insufficient time and detail to respond to the testimonies in the film’.
‘I have consistently denied – and now successfully defended – numerous allegations made both in the US and the UK, both criminal and civil, and each time have been able to source evidence undermining the allegations and have been believed by a jury of my peers.’

Spacey won an Academy Awards for best supporting actor in 1995 for his role as Roger ‘Verbal’ Kint in The Usual Suspects.
Continuing his fight-back against the slew of allegations, he also took part in a 95 minute interview with former GB News presenter Dan Wotton, where he declared he will ‘no longer be speechless’ in the face of allegations.
Despite Spacey’s rebuttal to have more time for a response, the Channel 4 programme went ahead.
‘We’re going ahead,’ Dorothy Byrne, one of the producers of the programme, said as she revealed she hopes it will prompt a #MeToo movement for men.
‘I’ve made a lot of programmes over decades about women suffering inappropriate behaviour, so this has been a very interesting project to work on.
‘I do feel that it’s a #MeToo moment for men. Lots of things that were done to women 50 years ago are still being done to men, many of whom feel that they have to put up with it,’ she told the Observer.
Taking further attack on the broadcaster on X he added: ‘I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network’s one-sided “documentary” about me in their desperate attempt for ratings.’
Spacey was acquitted of the nine sexual offences in relation to four men at Southwark Crown Court last year.
The dismissal came after he won a US civil lawsuit in 2022 after being accused of an unwanted sexual advance in 1986.
