Kevin Spacey revives 'House of Cards' role in Tucker Carlson video
Newsy
Kevin Spacey again presented himself as his "House of Cards" character in a Christmas Eve YouTube video.
Some people eat Chinese food or try to find the pickle ornament in the tree, while others open gifts and drive around the neighborhood looking at lights. But each year, Kevin Spacey's Christmas tradition always seems to beat out the rest as the most bizarre.
Since 2018, a year after sexual assault allegations were first lodged against him, the actor has released a Christmas video as Frank Underwood, his politician character in Netflix's "House of Cards," in which he discusses some sort of current topic. And this year, he sat down with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson for a conversation that seemed to blur the lines of reality and TV.
The 7-minute video titled "Being Frank With Tucker" was posted to Spacey's YouTube on Christmas Eve and centered on the upcoming 2024 presidential election and the media world — including Netflix, which killed his character off ahead of its sixth season amid the allegations.
Speaking in his character's Southern accent, Spacey as Underwood tells Carlson about his potential run for president, repeatedly saying "we need to get some adults back in the room." He also says he has a "very solid relationship" and unwavering bond with the public, even saying he feels he can talk directly to them.
