Kildare native Aisling Bea claimed she doesn't know many actors who 'don't have a Kevin Spacey story'.

The Hollywood star has apologised for inappropriate behaviour towards a teenage actor back in the 1980s in New York.

Bea, who has 174,000 Twitter followers, said: “I don’t know many actors from my era of drama school graduates who don’t have a Kevin Spacey story.

"The surprise is the lack of surprise,” she tweeted.

Bea is a grad of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

Spacey spent time in Ireland in 2000 when he filmed Ordinary Decent Criminal with a then unknown Colin Farrell.

Spacey returned to Ireland in 2011 for a special screening of Suspects at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.
