The former House of Cards actor was cleared on all counts at his sexual assault trial in London

Kevin Spacey was cleared of sexually assaulting four men at his London trial last month.

The charges included sexual assault and were related to allegations spanning two decades of which jurors determined Spacey was innocent after a 12-hour deliberation.


Almost a month on, Spacey has now been pictured enjoying downtime with his pal Sir Elton John at a luxury restaurant in France.

John and Spacey could be seen enjoying their evening at La Petite Maison restaurant in Nice alongside other guests and John's husband David Furnish.

Both Furnish and John were called as defence witnesses during the trial after one of the men alleged Spacey nearly made him crash his car after being groped as they made their way to an event held by the musician.

But jurors dismissed the claims after the court heard Spacey was in attendance at John's event that evening.

In a clip on Instagram shared by the band performing at the dinner, Spacey can be seen recording their performance while John sings along.

The Snugglers also provided GB News with an exclusive snap from the evening as they can be seen belting out the songs for the stars.

On Instagram, they captioned the clip: "We had the chance to perform for those absolute legends: Sir @eltonjohn & @kevinspacey!

"In this clip sir Elton is singing with us @lapetitemaison_nice feeling blessed."

The Snugglers guitarist and manager Rudy Treize, 29, has also spoken publicly about the chance to perform for the actor and singer.

He told PA [via Watford Observer]: "It was such an honour to play for Sir Elton John.

"After finishing his farewell tour, we (were able) to make him sing, with us, some Elvis Presley and Tom Jones. He looked happy.

"It was an unique and incredible feeling," Treize continued. "My band (have) played for many celebrities, but Sir Elton John is in another category.
