Kevin Spacey is currently visiting Uzbekistan during a film festival taking place there. During the ceremony, his health unexpectedly deteriorated significantly. After being transported to the hospital, the actor found out if his life was in danger.

Kevin Spacey is one of the best and most distinguished actors in the history of cinema. He began his career on the New York Broadway. His performances on the stages of American theaters were very popular, but at some point he decided to veer off track and focus his artistic activity on film. The decision proved to be spot on. Kevin played many outstanding roles, and his participation in "The Usual Suspects" and "American Beauty" earned him two Oscars.

The actor's career was accelerating at an ever faster pace. His latest high-profile role in the Netflix blockbuster "House of Cards" was hailed by many as one of the most remarkable in his 30-year professional career. During his portrayal of Frank Underwood, he was unexpectedly accused of molesting. Last year he was officially charged with four sexual assaults, allegedly committed between 2001 and 2013. However, unofficially it was said that there were many more victims. Kevin Spacey was immediately removed from the cast of the political series, contrary to earlier plans, his character was killed off, and the actor himself became persona non grata in the film industry.

Kevin Spacey was acquitted by a British court. However, now he must fight for his health

About two months ago, fortune unexpectedly smiled upon a 64-year-old. During another hearing regarding a high-profile scandal, the court in London acquitted him of all the charges leveled against him. The actor was overjoyed after hearing the verdict that once again turned his life upside down.

Spacey is fully aware of how difficult it is to regain a good name and rebuild a shattered reputation. However, he decided to fight for a return to the world of cinema, trying to win over the audience again.

The man fighting to rebuild his reputation is one of the stars of the International Film Festival taking place in Uzbekistan. He was invited to run workshops for young acting enthusiasts and share his experiences from film sets. At one point, he felt his left arm begin to numb momentarily. An ambulance was quickly called to the event venue, which immediately took him to the hospital.

Kevin Spacey has undergone a series of tests and an MRI. Doctors suspected him of having a pre-infarction condition. Fortunately, it turned out that his health is not in danger, although he should monitor the work of his heart.

After being discharged from the hospital, the actor returned to the festival audience. As reported by the British newspaper "The Sun", during his speech, he thanked the medics for their quick intervention, appreciating the qualified staff of doctors working in one of the hospitals in Tashkent.
