Guy Pearce discusses his experiences with Kevin Spacey during the filming of LA Confidential, mentioning his initial ambiguity about Spacey's behavior. He emphasizes his attempt to be more honest now, acknowledging feeling targeted by Spacey's charm and aggression. Although Pearce considered himself a victim to some extent, he was careful to distinguish his experiences from those of others who suffered more significant abuse. He recounts how he re-evaluated those memories after the public revelations about Spacey and confronted him about his behavior.
I just try to be more honest about it now and call it for what it is, said Pearce, saying that he broke down and sobbed once he achieved more clarity on what had happened.
Even though I probably was a victim to a degree, I was certainly not a victim by any means to the extent that other people have been to sexual predators.
He holds a room remarkably. But I was young and susceptible, and he targeted me, no question.
Once things came to light in 2017, said Pearce, he reassessed his times with Spacey and raised them with him, saying he subsequently had a couple of confrontations with Kevin that got ugly.
