Kevin Spacey marks his 64th birthday at a posh members’ club in London after being cleared of sexual assault
ACTOR Kevin Spacey is in a much lighter mood as he celebrates being cleared of sexual assault charges at a top members club.
The Oscar winner was in high spirits as he enjoyed a cigarette during his 64th birthday bash outside London’s Groucho Club.
The House of Cards star sported a casual sweater and pants as he left the hotspot just before midnight on Wednesday.
He enjoyed a whisky inside after he was found not guilty of sexually assaulting four men during a month-long trial at Southwark Crown Court.
An onlooker said: “He looked very proud - he was sitting by the entrance for everyone to see.”
Spacey - whose backpack sported a “be kind” button - looked much chirpier than earlier in the day, when he broke down in tears outside Southwark Crown Court after being cleared of assaults on four men.
