Spacey’s decision to “come out at the same time as he was being accused of sexual misconduct, which was not the best thing.
To do and lost him a lot of support from the gay community,” according to Cox, was also a “big mistake.”
Regarding his position on “cancel culture,” which he has referred to as “a virus” and “a sort of modern day McCarthyism,” Cox has also been quite outspoken.
The actor has previously defended Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who often receives criticism for promoting anti-trans sentiments, and Bill Murray, who was accused of acting inappropriately on the Being Mortal production.
“Everything’s about this cancel culture now, and everybody’s obsessed with this whole thing about how you’re supposed to behave,” Cox said in an interview with THR.
He recalled an incident from earlier this year while he was practicing for the play A Long Day’s Journey Into Night.
