Kevin Spacey says he was

Kevin Spacey has described himself as "pushing the boundaries" and "being too handsy" in the past, in a new interview.

The actor won a US civil lawsuit after being accused of an unwanted sexual advance at a party in 1986, and last year was acquitted at Southwark crown court after being accused of sexually assaulting four men in the period between 2001 and 2013.

He has always denied any criminal wrongdoing and misconduct allegations.

In an interview for the YouTube channel Piers Morgan Uncensored, Spacey said he had "pushed the boundaries" in the past.

When asked how, he told Morgan: "Being too handsy, touching someone sexually in a way that I didn't know at the time they didn't want."

"I have caressed people, I have been gentle with people, that is the way that I am," he added in response to accusations.

"You're making a pass at someone, you don't want to be aggressive. You want to be gentle. You want to see if they're going to respond positively."
