Kevin Spacey emotionally opens up about Elton John's support Kevin Spacey became emotional as he recalled the support he has received from Elton John as he appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Tuesday night (June 11). The two time Oscar winner told Piers that Elton was the first person to email him after actor Anthony Rapp accused him of making sexual advances on him when he was aged 14. Piers brought up that Elton testified on Kevin's behalf via videolink at his sexual assault trial in London .
Kevin immediately teared up at the mention of the Rocket Man singer. "You've actually just reminded me that Elton was the first email I got on October 30, 2017 after the Rapp story came out saying, 'we love you, whatever you need, we're here for you'. And Elton has been there and David had been there ever since.
"What's most interesting about the fact that they testified in the trial in the UK was that I didn't ask them. I told them a piece of information that one of the accusers had said about them, which was not true. And Elton and David said, 'Well, we have to testify'.
"And I was like, Are you kidding? No, we absolutely have to testify. We have to let the jury know that this individual is not telling the truth. And they insisted on it.
That's the kind of friends that I have. That I've been very fortunate to have in my life," he wept. READ MORE: Hairy Bikers' Si King makes huge career announcement as fans want to 'hug him' Kevin Spacey became tearful discussing Elton John on Pier.
